Receive This Day My Mantle of Peace and Be Pilgrims of Peace

Thanksgiving Day Address

Part 1

Come unto my heart, ye beloved of the light! Come unto my heart this day. My heart is as big as the cosmos and yet my heart can fit in thine and thine in mine.

O my beloved, you who have gathered on the mountain because you have seen the vision of my Christ, thy Christ—so, blessed be ye this day. For indeed, ye are the salt of the earth. And there are many in the earth who have kept the savor of the salt, but vast multitudes who have it not.1 Therefore, let us reinfuse the planetary home and her people with the fervor of the light and with the knowledge of the Law. For truly this is the beginning of the New Day.

(Won’t you be seated, my beloved.)

A very special time of the year approaches—first [we observed] the celebration of the birth of a nation, [next we observe] the celebration of the coming of your own Christ Child, the celebration of the Manchild in your heart and the memory of the inception of my life that set the pace for these two thousand years.

Think, then, in this hour of the child America, not yet fully matured, not yet come to the fullness of that age of responsibility and maturity wherein a nation does take a major role and each individual joyfully, respectfully does bear his own burden of karma. Those who agree to pay the price and to understand that I will hold their hand yet not take from them what is their own work—they, then, pass into manhood, womanhood and ultimately unto adeptship and the full flowering of their Christhood.

This is the goal, beloved, and none of you here this day began [the process] in this life. All of you bear memories, conscious or unconscious, of previous lifetimes, the peaks of the sine wave when you were closest to God and yet descended again in the next life to the levels of your karma, so very deep and deeply mired in the astral plane.

Thus, when you are at the peak of the sine wave, know it is the moment for self-transcendence. Do not let go of it! Do not be swept away by the astral sea but know that things may not always be as good as they are in this very moment.

Therefore, seize the moment! Enrich it. Intensify it. And bring [that moment] to your creativity, to your calling, to your profession, to your fatherhood and motherhood, to your childhood. Bring [it] to the hour of identity, identity in selfhood, identity in nationhood—bring that moment in which you feel the strength, the superb strength of your own Christhood.

Do not say: “This will always be,” but rather, “This is a moment in eternity. I must capture it. I must seize it! I must use the fire of my heart to multiply it so that I do not lose this moment when I can catch the very fire of my own immortality.”

O the seed within, the seed within of Buddha, of Christ, oh yes, that seed, beloved! Once you have begun to direct the rays of your Presence to that seed and it begins the process of germination, then you must tend it twenty-four hours a day. For you know what happens to a new little seedling when it is not cared for with love, with attentiveness, steadfastly.

Do not wax hot in the spirit and then turn your back on it, thinking that on the morrow or in the next decade it shall be there for you. Know that there are moments as a nova appearing in the sky of your own Great Causal Body, moments when at last you have emerged from the dark ages of your karma or civilizations of tyranny and burden upon all people. You have come to the place when right moves, day by day, fervent prayer and determination to be one with my heart will advance you so much farther into the levels of the octaves of light, farther than you have accomplished perhaps in ten thousand years.

I speak to you, then, of the law of cycles—the cycles of the planet, the cycles of your own evolution. Realize, then, that you do not control these cycles. You must be perceptive of them. You must see them and know them as you anticipate the wave and ride the wave and become [such] experts at timing the wave that you achieve a victory in sports, in music, in intellectual accomplishment.

Yes, there is a tide in the affairs of men,2 and that tide moves across this nation and every nation. Is [this] true always? There are some moments in history when more decisions are being made within a compressed space of time than have been made in hundreds of years.

So it is in this century by the blessing of my father Saint Germain, and so it is in this very hour. Changes that have come upon the earth in a decade or less are monumental changes.

Pray for those who have had the courage to bring unification midst the Jews and the Palestinians.3 Yes, beloved, pray for unification. Know, then, that these peoples, as all peoples, have the burden of their karma, have the burden of fear, have the burden of ancient superstition and fanaticism. And they are not free to let go. They are not free to cease to fear, just as many in [the former] Yugoslavia are unable to let go of anger, of vengeance and of age-old hatreds.4

How, then, shall a people survive without the grace and mercy of the Cosmic Christ? And for this cause did my Father send me into the world—not to condemn the world, not to condemn the world.5 See that thou do it not. Condemn neither thyself, thy brother, the nations, nor the leaders. Condemn not. It is destructive. But see to it that thou shalt live thy life, whatever is left of it, that all might have eternal life and that they might have it more abundantly than ever before because they accept the grace and the mercy of the Son of God who I AM.6

I am called of God in this age and all ages. And surely I am the tester of all. And through you I come through your Holy Christ Self. And in the innocence of a babe or a child I come testing the mind and the heart of those who ought to be many steps above where they are on the spiral staircase that leads to the realms of light.

All preparation in this life is for forever—forever unto eternity or forever, as Daniel wrote, to everlasting contempt of God.7 Those who awaken to that everlasting contempt, beloved ones, they, then, find themselves in a state of weeping and gnashing of teeth.8 For they cannot let go of their resentment. They cannot let go of their contempt of God or of the light in his people.

It is a pity. It is a profound sadness. I weep. The messenger weeps and you also weep that those who have known the light and seen me directly with their inner sight have not yet been willing to forsake the momentum of vengeance, where they must have that vengeance here and now.

And why is it? Because they have not trusted in the LORD God, or else they have reserved themselves a place, a portion of their identity where they may sit in the seat of the scornful9 and judge Almighty God.

And if they should relinquish that position, they fear they should lose their identity, not being able to be over God or his prophets or his babes that he sends. Not being able to be over them, they therefore lose all sense of independence, when in fact they are but slaves to the darkness that they have created. But in a moment, in the light of the realization that to bend the knee before the Universal Christ who I AM, who I represent, they may put all of that into the flame of mercy, the flame of compassion and the flame of forgiveness.

Ah, it is a curse to have eternal memory of evil and evildoers and to have eternal condemnation of the lightbearers. Yet this is the disease of this planet in many quarters. And I tell you, beloved, the records you find at Baalbek10 and areas of the Middle East that are very, very ancient, going back to the days of Atlantis, are so vile, so evil that they, upon contact by unsuspecting souls, may so infest them with these diseases of anger and of vengeance that people have even [taken] lifetimes to overcome those records.

Even so, the messenger Mark Prophet did warn those who toured the Middle East with him11 not to go onto certain places of earth where horrendous sacrifices and misuses of the sacred fire in rituals had taken place. Yet a number said, “There is nothing to it. Nothing will happen to us. We will go into those places where we have been warned not to go.”

Well, beloved, you know not, yet, there are records of evil in the earth. And until they are consumed by the violet flame, until you have the inner sight of the perception of the aura of the individual or the aura of a physical, geographical location, you may find yourself stepping in quicksand in the middle of New York City, in the middle of Los Angeles. For there are cesspools everywhere of misuse of the light of God, human sacrifice and the violation of children.

And that is why deserts and jungles have been placed over large areas of the world, so that none will go there and be contaminated by the horrendous records of previous civilizations whereby cataclysm did take place and earth did change and continents did rise and continents did sink. And thus, the continents which rose had been purified by elemental life and the records partially transmuted.

Thus, Saint Germain called for and received the dispensation for the purification of the land America that he might begin all over again an age of freedom. Therefore, records of the tyranny and despotism of many, many tens of thousands of years had to be cleared before there could be upon this soil a relatively pure land that had not been blood drenched as had been the case in other areas of the world.

Saint Germain and the Lords of Karma pondered long the great burden upon humanity who would reincarnate in areas where they would fall into the same old traps and the same old karmas and the same old vendettas such as you see, as I have mentioned, in [the former] Yugoslavia today and many other areas of the world where the tribal consciousness is continually calling this and that tribe to rise up to destroy the other one to prove who is greater. It is worse than children on the playground, beloved ones.

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

This dictation by Jesus Christ was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 25, 1993, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. Part 2 of Jesus Christ’s dictation is printed in Vol. 48 no. 4. Part 3 is printed in Vol. 48 no. 5.

1. Matt. 5:13; Luke 14:34.

2. “There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.” Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, act 4, scene 3, lines 218-21.

3. Peace plan for the Jews and Palestinians. On September 13, 1993, in a dramatic ceremony at the White House in Washington, representatives of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization signed an interim peace agreement promoting Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip over a five-year period. The accord said the parties would strive to “achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace settlement.” To mark the occasion, the Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin, and the PLO Chairman, Yasser Arafat, shook hands before cheering crowds on the White House lawn. This was the first public handshake between the two former archenemies.

Rabin and Arafat did not sign the declaration themselves. Rather, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres signed for Israel and Mahmoud Abbas, a negotiator in the secret talks leading to the agreement, signed for the PLO. Rabin said: “We who have fought against you the Palestinians, we say to you today in a loud and clear voice, enough of blood and tears. Enough.” Arafat said: “The difficult decision we reached together was one that required great courage.” In a September 9 letter to Rabin, Arafat had declared, “The PLO recognizes the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace and security.” He also renounced terrorism and other acts of violence. In reply, Rabin stated, “The Government of Israel has decided to recognize the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people.” Rabin, Peres and Arafat were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1994. While attending a peace rally in November 1995, Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist.

4. Age-old hatreds in the former Yugoslavia. The territory of modern Bosnia and Herzegovina has been wracked by centuries of civil war and invasion by foreign armies, marked by the Roman conquest in the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. In the 7th century the Croats and Serbs moved into the territory, joining the native populations. Under changing governing structures, the area repeatedly divided and reformed along ethnic, religious and territorial lines.

In 1946, Bosnia and Herzegovina became one of the constituent republics of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia, a communist government. The new government imposed social, economic and political changes on the whole of Yugoslavia. In 1990, Yugoslavia overthrew Communism and soon after began to split into small religious and ethnic republics, including Serbia (predominantly Eastern Orthodox), Croatia (predominantly Catholic), and Bosnia-Herzegovina (predominantly Muslim).

In June 1991, Serbia invaded Croatia and in March 1992 expanded its offensive into Bosnia. In the fall of 1993, U.N. representatives led peace negotiations to set up the former Yugoslavia as a union of three republics, but leaders of Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina broke off negotiations. International negotiators met again in December 1993 to propose another cease-fire, but it failed and fighting continued.

5. John 3:17.

6. John 10:10.

7. Dan. 12:2.

8. Matt. 8:12; 13:41-43, 49, 50; 22:2, 11-14; 24:44-51; 25:29, 30; Luke 13:28.

9. Ps. 1:1.

10. According to the HarperCollins Bible Dictionary, the city of Baalbek is “located in the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon. It is the site of Roman Heliopolis and the ruins of temples for the triad of Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus.” This “Heliopolitan cult,” adapted from “the older Semitic gods Hadad, Atargatis, and Baal,” spread throughout the Roman Empire. The Temple of Baccus is located at Baalbek (p. 95). The ascended masters and their messengers teach that orgies and ritual human sacrifice were practiced on the altars at Baalbek, the place of Baal.

11. The master is referring to the Holy Land tour in 1972. On September 18, Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet and some 100 staff and devotees departed for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The messenger Mark L. Prophet delivered dictations by Pallas Athena in Athens, Greece; Serapis Bey in Cairo, Egypt; Saint Germain and Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, Israel. Mark Prophet also delivered lectures in Athens, Cairo, Jerusalem, Megiddo, Mount Carmel, and Caesarea.

Annice Booth, in her book Memories of Mark: My Life with Mark Prophet, describes the experience: “In Cairo we visited the church where Mother Mary appeared to the faithful. Photographers have taken a picture of her in her light body hovering over the dome of this Coptic Church. Although she had appeared several years previously, there was still a large crowd of devotees praying at this church when we were there. We could still feel Mother Mary’s radiation.... One of the highlights of our tour was to have been a visit to Luxor and the etheric location of Serapis Bey’s Ascension Temple. As we were in the airport at Cairo awaiting our flight, the news came over the loudspeaker that our flight had been cancelled. Fighting had accelerated between the Israelis and Arabs and the airline refused to take responsibility for our safety. This trip to Luxor and the possibility of a dictation by Serapis Bey were planned as one of the main highlights of the trip. While we all prayed and prayed in the airport and Mark tried to negotiate with the officials, the answer was an unequivocal, ‘No, you may not travel to Luxor any time in the near future by plane, by bus or by any carrier.’ We returned to our hotel, a rather dispirited group of devotees. The only place we could assemble was in the restaurant. And that night in our hotel in Cairo Serapis Bey dictated.... I can remember walking the stations of the cross in those dark, narrow streets of Old Jerusalem, following Jesus on his walk to Calvary. We visited the Mount of Olives, celebrated Holy Communion in the Garden of Gethsemane, visited Lazarus’ tomb, saw the Church of the Nativity, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and many of the spiritual places associated with the Holy Land” (pp. 85, 87, 90).
