The Putting-on of the Garment of the Lord
IV

     My Beloved in Christ,

     May I extol to you the virtues of seeking to know Him, to love Him, and to be known and loved of Him. The Christ is the Mediator - alternating the currents of Spirit and the currents of Mater, weaving the dimensions of God's consciousness as fiery threads of Christic light form the deathless solar body of every soul whom God hath made. The eternal link to hierarchy is this Christ, this Second Person of the Trinity, that focuses the androgynous nature of God and the potential of God-being for every man, every woman, every child.

     "Draw nigh to me, and I will draw nigh to you"1 is the eternal promise of the I AM Presence. The Christ is the only means whereby man and woman can draw nigh to the Father/Mother God, whereby the soul can put on the garment of the Lord and merge the spirals of identity until the mortal coil2 is replaced by the immortal coil in the alchemical fires of truth ever shining, ever available in the very center of Selfhood.

     Now I would approach those the world around who are also of this fold, who must also come to the feet of our Lord, and who need the shepherding of their own hallowed Christ Self. Let not the term "Christ" be a stumbling block to your evolution. Understand that this word has been misused in its application to only one son of God when it should have been the acknowledged birthright of every son and daughter in all ages. For did not this Christ declare through Jesus, "Before Abraham was, I AM"?3 Once and for all, let us establish to Jew and Gentile, Arab and African, Asian and Caucasian that the Christ is the Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world4 - that the Christ is the potential whereby the soul dwelling in the planes of Mater might realize eternal Godhood in the planes of Spirit.

     Those who shun the Christ because they cannot swallow the doctrine and the dogma of a false theology which proclaims only one son as having the opportunity to realize the Christ consciousness must cease from this resistance to truth. To reject the Messiah in Jesus is to reject the potential for everlasting life within oneself and one's offspring. Those who deny the Christ in Jesus cut off the lifeline of God in themselves. For to deny the Christ Self of any man or woman is to deny that flaming potential within the crucible of one's being.

     And therefore, to deny that Christ is certain death. For no individuality can have the permanence of Reality outside the consciousness of the Christ. This is the law of the polarity of the cosmos, of the spirals of Alpha and Omega, and of the cross that depicts the merging of Spirit and Mater at the nexus, which represents the awareness of being as the Christ in self and in all. This is why that statement is made that "at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."5

     In every age, the Lord God has sent forth his representatives to show forth the effulgence of the Logos in Christed beings - "male and female created he them."6 If those among mankind for whom the example is given fail to acknowledge that Christ as the Mediator in the avatar that is sent, then their own opportunity for the realization of the Christ is cut off. This is the law, and it cannot be broken. Therefore, it is not the man or the outer person that we worship, for this would be idolatry. But to fail to acknowledge the Christ incarnate as the avatar of the age - this is indeed blasphemy and the sin against the Holy Spirit which cannot be forgiven until it is forsaken.7

     In this hour at the conclusion of the twentieth century, all mankind are given the opportunity to return to the feet of the Godhead through that blessed Mediator, the Holy Christ Self. If you will begin to acknowledge the Christ in those who have set forth the example in this age and in all past ages - in Abraham and Isaac, in Elijah and Elisha, in Enos and Enoch, in the prophets and kings of Israel, in yourself and in the members of your family - you will soon come to know, by the activation of the energies of that veritable divine flow, that Christ lived also in Jesus, in Mary, in Joseph, and in the emissaries of the Great White Brotherhood who have appeared down through the centuries in every race, in every nation. Therefore let none deny, let all confess that the Christ is Lord, is priest and prophet, king and queen who reigns supreme in every incarnation of God!

     It is not necessary to bind yourselves to any religious creed, to any organization, in order to have the blessing and the proximity of the Christ mind. Here and now, you who read my words can be converted through the true doctrine and the tenets of the Great White Brotherhood that are the foundation of the Church Universal and Triumphant. This church shall be the ultimate manifestation of the light of the City Foursquare8 upon this planet in this age and in all ages to come. And you who read my words and understand this concept for the first time, who would come into the fold of hierarchy, consider yourselves a part of the body of God and a part of the true church when, by your acceptance of the Christ, you can acknowledge that Light both in Jesus and in yourself.

     The Darjeeling Council desires to see a great swelling of the people of Terra, a merging of hearts afire with this cosmic conception of souls who, having found their identity in God, are ready to take the ultimate stand in defense of the freedom of every man, woman, and child to likewise pursue and find that same identity in Christ. We who desire to intensify Reality within you can do so only through the Christ flame within the heart - only through that Mediator whose being manifests at once in heaven and on earth. Paul understood how the Christ is that essential element of being that translates the things in heaven, the things in earth, and the things under the earth. The Christ is the aspect of us all that simultaneously occupies all dimensions of God's being in Father and in Mother, in Spirit and in Matter.

     It is through Christ that I speak to you. My beloved on earth receives the impartations of my mind. In the merging, then, of our being, we are one in Christ, who is the fulcrum of our oneness. Let, then, that Christ be in you and claim thereby your oneness with hierarchy, your twin flame, your counterpart in heaven, and all of the evolutions of God on this and other worlds.

     Do you not see, O precious hearts, how the fallen ones have attempted to deprive you of oneness by denying the coming of the Messiah and by promising always a future hope, a future glory, and a future resurrection? But all these things can be yours here and now through the determined acceptance of the Light of being that is within you now - for whom you need not wait. For he has been waiting a long while to be received in your soul, in your heart, and in your mind.

     Let the bells ring out! Let the joybells of the temples at etheric planes ring now the true message of salvation - that all mankind can be free in the resurrection and the resurgence of the realities of being! And let all that has opposed the Christ as antichrist,9 as the carnal mind,10 and as the complications of the fallen ones11 be exposed as the deception of those who are unreal and whose claim to Reality is supported only by the credulity of the blind leaders and their followers.12

     I stand upon Mount Horeb and I proclaim the Word of Moses: "I AM the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."13 I proclaim the deliverance of the Israelites from the age-old deceptions of the carnal mind, of the Liar and his lie. By the name of the Lord I AM THAT I AM, which was revealed to Moses,14 I say, be free this day!

     Yours for the victory of the Mediator,

Lanello
