The Handmaid of God

     Beloved Hearts of Mankind,

     Through interstellar space, from far-off worlds I came long ago unto Mary, a holy child known of Heaven and prepared to be truly the handmaid of the Lord.1 How does an Archangel approach one who, albeit prepared to receive the highest Truth, is stirred yet by those elements of awareness that involve themselves with the mundane, with the necessities of life, with those things that so often steal away the very time of God to approach the soul?

     Fortunately, however, I came to one who retained within her the memory of spiritual worlds and higher realms, of those tones of love and Truth that created a willingness within her to be the handmaid of God. And of a truth, how few mothers in every time have really been willing to devote themselves to bring forth that holy thing which shall be born of thee, which shall be called the Son of God.2

     So then, it ought to come as no surprise to the mankind of earth that many today desire only to duplicate themselves, to produce a creation of limitation, of habit, one that is bound to the outer domain rather than to dominion. Therefore, whereas heavenly hosts would and could so often come to those who today invoke the immaculate conception, they do not because their salutation is not heard and their intercession is not heeded by the majority of the women of the world. Nevertheless, there are many who desire with all their heart to be mother to a son of God without fear of human psychic persecution and accusation and to retain that contact with our realm and that state of mind which is a new hope not only to the angelic hosts but also to God Himself.

     The preparation for motherhood is one of astute sweetness. And the knowledge that is inwardly conveyed to those who aspire to this high calling is the knowledge of the Holy Spirit, the knowledge of higher realms that hover so frequently near unto the earth. Why, the whole beautiful drama of cosmic Christhood stands ready and waiting to repeat the triumph of the holy Christ Child again and again!

     To aspire to bring forth the Divine Manchild in a holy family union is no desecration of Jesus, Mary, or Joseph, but rather a fulfilling of the law of God which they outpictured as an example for all. The young Master said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."3 Does this sound, O blessed mankind, as though Heaven did not intend the whole beautiful triumph of the Christ to be engendered in every heart?

     I AM Gabriel. And whether or not man can accept this truth - that of my ability to reach embodied mankind today - the fact remains that I can, that I do, and that I will. And if it seems strange or contrived that I am able to bring forth these my living words, then hold the immaculate concept also for those of us whose hearts would never desecrate one iota of the dream of God, but only embellish it by further contact, by further intensification of God's love in man, the same love that sang long ago with the angels in the soundless sound of heaven's cosmic fire.

     What is it like to be in our realm, O mankind of earth, which is not so different from your own? Our consciousness and realization of Life is wholly divine; yet we are able to retain the cause, effect, record, and memory of all of the thoughts of God at the same time that the divine mediatorship is extended in part through us, as through Jesus the Christ and the Christ Selves of all mankind, as we serve to make your world more fruitful and less barren.

     Salvation is of the Spirit, not of the flesh, O mankind. And when you stop and think upon this, you will realize that it is only souls that require bodies. Hopefully, there are those who are able to perceive correctly the need that some must hold and guard well the flame of a living soul made flesh that it may be made Spirit. First it is Spirit; then it is made flesh; and then once again it is made Spirit in that conscious awareness that retains the memory of all the gifts and triumphs that the individual soul must share in as it approaches the throne of cosmic grace.

     Yes, there is "a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted";4 but all things are designed toward permanency. That which is flesh and blood, that which is of the dust of the earth, returns to the dust5 until the dust itself is freed to pass into spiritual Reality. But then the physical envelope, the mortal body of man, can be raised through the ascension process. Those who are able to accept the scientific reality of this know that every atom of body, mind, and soul, every erg of energy can be made whole, whiter than fuller's earth, until the soul in God-delight sheds its own beams through human night and all is purest Light.

     The triumph of regeneration, of resurrection, of ascension, the triumph of immortality over mortality, is within you. As this Light of the Christ expands, the world will be set aflame by the divine love not only of roving angel bands but of God Himself. And who is greater? The triumph of Christ-reality is yours that you may be born again not only after the flesh but also after the Spirit.

     O my beloved friends of Light, recipients of the annunciation of Gabriel,6 accept that Christ be born in thee a spiritual creation. And accept that thou be born in Him. For He too has prepared a manger of His own love and fashioned it to help all, to heal all, to love all, that all triumph in His name.

     Devotedly,

     I AM a flaming Archangel of God's band,

Gabriel

     Note: Gabriel is the Archangel of the Fourth Ray of Purity. His divine complement is the Archeia Hope. Their retreat is on the etheric plane between Sacramento and Mount Shasta, California.

Vol. 15 No. 50 - Beloved Helios - December 10, 1972
THE RADIANT WORD
"Hear Now the Word of the Lord!" by Beloved Helios given November 19, 1972 at the Retreat of the Resurrection Spiral
Part I

     I AM Helios of the dawn. Hear the Word of the living God! Behold, the earth is Mine and the fullness thereof.7 The hour has come and now is when My children shall be gathered together from the four corners of the earth and shall respond to the ministration of the Good Shepherd of humanity, when they shall understand in a manner never before possible the meaning of infinite love.

     I say unto all, Awake, thou that sleepest, and rise from the dead! that you may receive the Light of the Universal Christ.8 Lo and behold, the Eucharist of the dawn is breaking; and the particles thereof, as the Sacred Flame substance of immortality, are being dispensed unto those hearts waiting to receive the living bread of God that is the Word. Hear, then, the living Word; for the great humanities of the living God shall be made manifest to all who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness. Our prayer is that they may be filled!9

     Understand, then, that the domain of the heart is Mine; and I claim it! Understand now that the domain of the soul is Mine, and I claim it! Understand now that I AM the Lord thy God that, as a living Flame of Fire, visited thee and established in thee the pillars of eternity that thou shouldst understand My Law that is written in thy heart and in thy mind.10

     Now is the hour of My appearing - the hour of trembling and the hour of My radiance, the hour when the diamond of My Mind appears in the cup of Life as that shining Reality which assembled all atoms of substance as a portion, a goodly portion, of cosmic purpose revealed to view. Yet there are those who have not seen, who do not understand, who do not perceive, whose hearts are darkened, whose consciousness remains in that nether world of human folly. I say then, let them remain there. For I have said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh.11 He is as a vapor that appears upon the window, the pane of Life, the plane of Life, for a time and then vanisheth away.

     Hear now the Word of the Lord. The hour has come when darkness and confusion must recede as the manifestation of the Christ Light appears to all. Lo, I come with power and glory. Lo, I come! Lo, I come with clouds, and every eye shall see Me - yea, even those which pierced Me.12 And then shall men also know that not only do those pierce Me who pierced My Son Christ Jesus, but also those who have pierced My purposes by denying them. Having lived, then, in sundry times and various manifestations according to the rituals of the flesh, they continue so to do and fail to recognize the power and preeminence of the spirit of faith that is within their hearts and the power and grace of the world to come.

     And therefore I will bring a great earthquake to pass upon this world; and the world shall find, with the presence of this earthquake, that I the Lord God live! And behold, it shall come to pass that many shall perish; for they have not heard My Word. Behold, the wickedness of mankind today is as the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah;13 and behold, I shall shake the pillars of the earth. And surely, saith the Lord, an earthquake shall come, and no man shall be able to stop it or to stay it! For behold, My wrath is kindled against mankind's continual involvement in human discord and inharmony and their failure to acknowledge the power of God which is in the heavens above and also upon the earth beneath and in the waters and underneath the earth.

     Behold, I AM the Lord thy God; and surely this thing shall be. And it shall be in My season14 and in My time as I shall direct it. And it shall be as a result of mankind's own karmic justice which they have established. The patterns that they have brought forth shall also come upon them. And surely I the Lord God will visit this earth, and it shall come to pass; and I the Lord have spoken it! Behold, the time when men's hearts are failing for fear has come upon the earth. And behold, it shall intensify; for yea, they have deserved it. Yea, they have surfeited themselves. They have thought to glorify themselves and exalt themselves unto the mountains; and behold, the hour of My appearing is at hand. Behold, I shall surely visit the family of nations, and I shall render unto all according to their just deserts.
