The Putting-on of the Garment of the Lord
I

     Heart Friends of the Light of Freedom,

     I come to renew the ancient covenant, to surround you with the swaddling garment of my immortality, to enfold you in the spirals of my immortal awareness, to mesh my consciousness with your own.

     My purpose is a many-faceted one. First and foremost, that which is on my heart is to prepare each and every one of you who have known me as Mark - who assisted me in my service to Life and who lended support to The Summit Lighthouse - for the ritual of the return known as the ascension in the light. For, having come so recently from the planes of Mater, being so aware of the stresses and strains attendant upon life in the decade of the seventies, I am in a unique position to assist you along the homeward way.

     To those of you who have recently come into the fold of the ascended masters' teachings, who have heard the call of the Great White Brotherhood and who have responded to the flame of the Mother, I say: Greetings in the name of the risen Christ! Be thou made whole. Welcome to our hearth and home! - to the Retreat of the Resurrection Spiral in Colorado Springs, to the Motherhouse in Santa Barbara, to the ascended masters' university. And, above all, welcome to the teachings of the ascended masters that have been preserved for you through our mission. These will be released to you in the coming months in heightened measure as the messenger and the devoted staff move with the legions of Hercules and of the God Mercury to translate the spoken Word to the printed page for the victory of the light in the hearts of lightbearers the world around.

     The Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood has asked me to prepare a series of Pearls of Wisdom for your edification and for the preparation and admonishment of your souls. For hierarchy is concerned that the remnant of the sons and daughters of God upon the planet be energized with the new currents of the Aquarian cycle and of the golden age - that here and there across the planetary home, clusters of lightbearers gather for the intensification of the spirals of victory in these final hours of testing, of tribulation, and yes, of temptation.

     We are determined by the grace of God to activate the consciousness of the Divine Feminine upon earth in individuals, in organizations, and in the most unexpected groups and societies. As you, then, respond to the quickening fires of the World Mother, you will also intensify the action of my flame, my being and consciousness, right within your very midst. Even now I am merging the attainment of my Christ consciousness with your own beloved Holy Christ Self, that my consciousness, reinforcing that of your own Higher Mind, might provide the bridge whereby this mortal might put on immortality, this corruptible might put on incorruption.1

     The translation of the soul from the planes of Mater to the planes of Spirit is accompanied by a liberating force, a solar light that eclipses all darkness - melting the elements of the subconscious with a fervent heat,2 repolarizing the very atoms and molecules of being to the divine blueprint that is that perfection of the soul which is the true nature of being itself.

     "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."3 There are many paths, many teachers and the proverbial guru who set themselves up in the midst of followers who earnestly seek the divine Light. In some cases, these are the instruments of hierarchy preparing segments of the population to receive the greater effulgence of the Mother flame. In other cases, these self-styled teachers along the way provide detours and often capture their listeners in a cul-de-sac of consciousness where they remain, alas, sometimes for several incarnations.

     I am determined, hierarchy is determined, by the grace of the Holy Spirit to so imbue those representatives of our holy cause who are coming forth from the ascended masters' university and from among the student body in the field with such light and purity and radiance so as to create a forcefield in the world that is a magnet for truth and for the wholeness of that truth which shall indeed make all mankind free.4 A partial truth is as dangerous as error itself. For it is the partial truths that beset orthodoxy in its many forms in East and West that effectively seal the earnest yet unenlightened seeker from the enlightenment of the Buddhic consciousness.

     I come, then, to prepare the way for the universal acceptance of the offering of the Cosmic Christ in this age. I come to prepare each of my readers with increasing increments of light with each release set forth herewith as a testimony of my witness to the truth in all ages. I come to make you sun centers - to increase the decibels of consciousness to a new dimension of cosmic awareness. And when the energies within heart and soul and mind blend for the release of the balanced action of the threefold flame, then you will see the explosion of light that occurs through the merging of the fires of Alpha and Omega right within you - right within your being, consciousness, and world.

     By that explosion of the sacred fire, you will see the multiplication of the Lord's body, of the loaves and fishes that shall be for the feeding of the five thousand.5 You will see how your consecration, your unswerving allegiance to Principle, will make of you a sun center with radiating light going forth to contact hundreds, thousands, and eventually millions who yearn to see the light of the new day but who, because of karmic ties and a dense stratification of consciousness, must await your own self-mastery ere they can move upward in the climb to summit heights.

     Do you see, precious hearts, that hierarchy is a chain of being? Hierarchy represents the highest and the lowest on the evolutionary chain. Somewhere along this chain of being is the link of your identity - your identity that is hid with Christ in God.6 This link in the chain of being makes you responsible for your actions. First, to Almighty God in the center of being, whose consciousness is also anchored in the center of every link in the chain. Second, you are responsible to the individual identity who occupies that place in hierarchy just above your own. And third, you are responsible to the individual who occupies the position just below your own.

     To the one above you, you owe unswerving allegiance and a determination to defend the Christ principle at all costs. This one who is next in line in hierarchy above you may be your teacher in the plane of Mater, an unascended hierarch and member of the Great White Brotherhood - or it may be your Guru, an ascended master, the chohan of one of the seven rays. The identity immediately beneath you in this chain of being is the initiate on the path who is following in your footsteps, who receives the momentum of victory each time you pass an initiation and who is also overcome by your failure each time you miss an opportunity to express the wholeness of the Christ.

     You are likewise responsible to all beings on the scale of God's consciousness beneath you in the long line of evolution. And, of course, you are responsible to all those who have preceded you - to keep the flame, to carry the torch of Life, and to pass on those frequencies of higher octaves to beings dwelling in lower octaves of evolution.

     As you rise in self-mastery with greater attainment, greater ability to focus the light of God-control, God-harmony, and God-reality, you are rewarded with energy-increments of God-power until you become a veritable sun center. And you know, one of the most important properties of the sun center is the central sun magnet - a forcefield in the white-fire core that magnetizes light for and on behalf of lifewaves and demagnetizes any focus or forcefield of all energies less than Light's perfection.

     We come, then, to the place where the ascended masters of the Great White Brotherhood who comprise hierarchy in the realm of Spirit desire to mesh their consciousness in greater measure with unascended initiates of that brotherhood who desire to be representatives for and on behalf of the Light to a world waiting for the Second Coming of the Christ. In order to implement that manifestation, the Christ mind must be elevated in increasing numbers of devotees across the planetary home. For the day must shortly come to pass when mankind's teachers shall not "be removed into a corner anymore" but all shall see their teachers face to face.7

     The beginning of the appearance of the ascended masters as it has been foretold to you, which will commence with the appearance of Mother Mary in the West, must come about first through the power of the spoken and the written Word, and then through the consciousness of the ascended masters merging with their unascended disciples. Your daily recitation of the rosary is a sacred ritual whereby the spirals of the Mother ray merge with your being and you walk the earth as Her representative. As you put on, for example, the robe of Maitreya, the mantle of his consciousness and his attainment, you become the living, breathing awareness of the Cosmic Christ in manifestation. As you are able to maintain that attunement for greater periods in time and space, by your consecration you will be found as the forerunner, preparing the way for that day when the Cosmic Christ will step through the veil - giving first to the few and then to the many the interpretation of Scripture, the mysteries of the law, and the unfoldment of that wisdom which comes forth from the retreats of the Great White Brotherhood.

     As you prepare to receive the releases of the ascended masters which will be forthcoming in the Pearls of Wisdom, I ask you with the full fervor of my being to concentrate your energies in the giving of decrees and invocations to the flame of the solar light - to purity, to freedom, and to the will of God. In the words of Paul I say: "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."8

     In the memory of our origin in immortal spheres, I embrace you with the love of my heart.

Lanello
