Jesus' 1976 Christmas Day Address: The Greatest Gift of All
Part I

     By thy light, O God, I AM come into the midst of these thy children! I AM come by thy Word as the emissary of light this day. I come as the Good Shepherd to call the sheep into the sheepfold.1 I come for the deliverance of souls. I come for the call of the Ancient of Days,2 and I come for the homing of love. I AM the Saviour in hope and charity and faith. I AM the Saviour by grace. I stand in the holy place, and by the skeins of consciousness which I weave throughout a cosmos, I uplift, I draw, I consume, I accelerate the God flame within.

     Let the Christmastide be for the coming of the tide of light and the moving stream of His grace. Let it be for the fulfillment of the angelic call: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men."3 Let the goodwill of that flame kindled by the devotion of the Elohim now burst forth as an ampule of oil from my heart to be for the softening, for the understanding, for the tenderness of that wisdom that delivers every soul to the very same altar. It is the altar of the one flame and of the living God.

     I, Jesus, come today, as I have come of yore, to kindle souls with the light of a Christmas candle, to kindle souls with the smile of a little child and the love that blushes on the face of the Mother as she gazes into the eyes of the newborn child. I come for the call of souls who have not the concept that the call is that manifestation of His will from within. It is the call of the Good Shepherd whereby I stand in light. It is the call that compels - compels not only the warning to the Joseph to take the flight into Egypt to preserve the newborn child,4 but it is the call that delivers unto every soul the mission, the blueprint of life.

     For this the Wise Men came. They came for the sealing of the chakras of the newborn child by the energies which they held in their hearts, the sealing of the sign of the coming of the Spirit into the bowl of Matter. So they came to anoint the throat chakra, the third eye, and the crown with gold and frankincense and myrrh.5 So they came. In Mary was the protection of the chalice of the heart, in Joseph of the temple, and in the shepherds the sustaining of life in the chakras of Mater - the chakra of the soul, and of peace, and of the house of the Mother.

     Now, then, all who attend the birth of the Christ bring of that consciousness which is their own distillation of the Word incarnate. Let Christmas be, then, for the giving of the gift of the self. For all other gifts are lesser gifts, but to give the self is truly the greatest gift of all. God gave himself when he gave the Christ unto the earth, and he gives of himself daily in the energies that flow from the Son, in the energies of Father and of Mother and of Child. So think, this day, how to give the gift of self in a very real way, a way that will count not for a moment's joy, but for the joy of the ages, for all souls who will come after in the way of life.

     Let it be a testimony of me. Let it be a witnessing unto the truth.6 Let it be the fiery core of your love flashing forth as the stars in the heavens to pierce the night with a new presence - a new presence because your own Christ Presence is a unique presence of the Saviour to your family, to your community, to your nation, to your world, and to the many systems of worlds within and without this life you live on Terra.

     The gift of self, like the candle that glows, is a flame that is seen, that is heard, that is felt throughout a cosmos. Let the self that is the gift of life, then, be the adornment of every other self, and let not these energies be for the adornment of the lesser self. Let the True Self of all, then, release now the fire that consumes the veils upon veils of ignorance, of malice, of selfishness, of the pulling against the inner flame. So let that fiery spark within leap now in response to the I AM Presence that is the star of each one's own divinity.

     I have come to send peace to the earth, a peace that is a ray of the secret rays of my heart. It is a new peace that I bring, a peace that is a challenge which I fling, a peace that only comes with the resolution of error, a peace that will not allow any man or woman to cover over the sins that must be exposed and then consumed. It is the peace that will not allow you to rest until you have done your best and fulfilled your inner vow. It is a secret ray which I send forth. It is the counterpart of that peace that is the flaming sword.7 It is the peace that is of the Great Central Sun Magnet, an energy core that is for the drawing-up of the very dregs of consciousness that there might be resolution and then integration of the self.

     We have watched that peace for which men cry, that meager peace with which they are content when all seems well upon the surface, as the first falling of the snow in winter when all is hidden beneath that layer of purity. Well, I say, we perceive beneath the consciousness even of the chelas and of all of mankind that there is a very deep unrest, there is the absence of peace, there is a very deep insecurity among mankind as all of the issues of life that are present come before the mind, the heart, and the emotions. There is scarcely a lifestream on earth this day that knows true peace as I know that peace in the white fire core of the Elohim of the Sixth Ray.

     Therefore, I call to the archangels to intensify the action of the judgment; for in the action of the judgment is that crystal clarity of the moving stream of the Mind of God whereby this day, in anticipation of the new year, there might be that unseen, unknown flaw exposed, consumed, and then the resolving of the inner self, the resolving of the outer self, and no more schism or blindness, no more opening for the intrusion of a lesser will, but equanimity that is born of mobility in Spirit, the will to do and to be all that God is - true peace.

     This peace I give. Therefore, do not misconstrue. For if there be upheavals, if there be divisions, if there be suddenly the turning of worlds and the shaking of souls and of consciousness and of the very earth beneath your feet, understand that it is the sign of the Presence that draweth nigh. It is the sign of the coming of that light into the world; for that light comes for the resolution.

     Do you understand the meaning of the word, children of my heart? To resolve means to bring all problems into that geometric design that gives peace to the eye, the mind, and the heart when all is clear, all is of truth, and there is not a wrinkle upon the garment of being, of awareness. To resolve means to draw up the reins of the will, the determination of the mind, and to cut through those daily gremlins that assail the consciousness with their doubts and fears, their tears, and all of that substance which would dissolve you in your very own pity for your very own self.

     Fear not. The self does not require pity. The self requires the compassionate regard that is the resolve: "Lo, I AM come to do thy will, O God!8 Lo, I AM come to be thy will, O God! Lo, I AM come to see thy will, O God! Lo, I AM come!" Being, defined within the self, must be the resolve, the will to be the wholeness, the will to integration, the will to declare being each day.

     For this I come. I come that you might see in yourself those unresolved portions - unresolved because you have left substance here and there, leftovers from this or that activity, unresolved emotions. You have left them on the highways of life, and there they stand as record and as blight, as pollution of the quadrants of Mater.

     Let your souls go forth this day with the angels of Life and of the Christ Mass to prepare the highway of our God, to prepare for the coming of his people. Go back for the consuming of the records. You need not change your place of abode. Simply go in consciousness with me this day and understand that you cannot, you must not be content simply because time and space now separate you from the discords and the unresolved issues of life.
