ARCHANGEL GABRIEL ON THE MYSTERY OF CONSCIOUSNESS
III

     Children on the Path of the White Light,

     When we contemplate the great mystery of the incarnation of the Word, we must understand how an all-loving and an all-wise Father-Mother God has provided for the gradual descent of the ineffable Light into the consciousness of the individual son of God.

     We approach the great spheres of the memory body, the vast potential of the subconscious and the superconscious mind. Within these vehicles of self-expression - the Alpha, the superconscious, and the Omega, the subconscious - the soul maintains its thread of contact with eternal Life.

     Continuity of being is seldom grasped let alone sustained by the evolutions of earth today. Mere broken fragments of experience are all that the personalities of the people can comprehend of that which is in reality a great moving stream of consciousness - the I AM THAT I AM that was and is and ever shall be that God who is the Real Self of all.

     Thus the incarnation of the Word, of your very own Christ Self, begins with the soul's contact with the memory of Higher Consciousness. Within the superconscious Mind of God are the great solar rings of the causal body depicted on the Chart of Your Divine Self. As you contemplate these seven rainbow spheres of light, meditate more deeply upon the vast aeons of your experience in this womb of light, as your soul has both involuted and evoluted long before you ever took physical embodiment upon earth.

     Here is the memory of a native innocence, sparkling as dewdrop glistening in the sun, of a childhood in eternity caressed by the presence of Alpha and Omega when you knew, O blessed heart, the arms of everlasting Love in the very lap of the similitude of the One.

     With brothers and sisters of a common origin and lifewave, you frolicked in universes of etheric perfection of which the earth affords fragmentary glimpses, but reminders of an Edenic life once shared with angelic hosts and elemental beings of fire, air, water, and earth.

     All of this experience preceding the challenges of time and space and of denser spheres provided for the laying of the foundation of the internal rhythm of Life which would one day be captured in the soundless sound pulsing in the centrosome of every living cell, in the rhythm of the tides of life, and in the breaking of the waves of light, cresting, dancing, foaming, intermingling with gull's delight upon the massive rocks of infinity.

     And versions of sun and stars, billowing grasses, elysian fields, fruit-bearing trees, and the gentle wind of the Holy Spirit form the backdrop for the soul's assimilation of the Body and the Blood - the feminine and the masculine principles of the universal energy of the Cosmic Christ.

     The encounter with the Person of God throughout this prenatal evolution of your soul was a most natural experience with the Great Ones who had already completed the evolution of the incarnate Word both in Spirit and in Matter - both within the great causal body and its spheres of light and in the pristine planes of earth which you now call the etheric octave.

     These Enlightened Ones - the Lawgivers, Great Silent Watchers, World Teachers and members of angelic orders - were revered by all. They taught by example the logical order of spiritual/material evolution. The presence of their great majesty and magnanimity of heart was not considered exceptional but, in a most simple and obvious way, was understood to be the goal of each one's evolution Godward.

     Within this great circle of oneness provided by the Almighty One for the gestation of the offspring of the Most High, there was no evil to resist the incarnate Word, no Antichrist1 as such. Thus the urge to creativity was taught as the acceleration of the interaction of the forces of Alpha and Omega within the push/pull polarity of the plus and the minus of being. The very logical and necessary impetus to striving, to becoming, to putting on more and more of the infinite fire was all that was necessary for the increase of consciousness.

     You see, my beloved, so great is God's endowment of his offspring with the desire to be more and more of himself that it is by love - this love and this love alone - and not in the midst of a battle of Light and Darkness and Good and Evil, that the soul learns the art and science of the sacred labor of working a work to the glory of that God Self that is the source of all good and all life. And always that work is unto the blessedness and the beatification of every part of life.

     By and by, souls develop an immense momentum, a veritable whirling action of the sacred fire. It is an attainment of creativity in the ultimate sense of the Word, that creativity being the recognition of the destiny of sons and daughters of God to be co-creators with Alpha and Omega.

     The sense of being the co-creator with God is the very driving force of cosmic consciousness. It is the will to do and to be each day the fullness of a potential that is more than one's own. It is the potential of expanding joy and happiness, a bubbling brook of light invigorating the mind unceasingly, restoring the soul and producing a laughter that both releases and increases the great tension of creativity.

     O boundless becoming in the infinite fire, I, Gabriel, stand in the presence of God within the secret chamber of the hearts of the children of God. I come to restore the memory of the path of the white light, to establish the cosmic connection twixt the soul and a lost memory of other spheres and other cycles of freedom.

     The freedom to be in God is the ultimate longing of the souls of earth. But alas, the descent into time and space and the subsequent misuse of free will and the misapplication of the crystal-clear energies of God flowing into the temple have resulted in a universal maya upon this planetary body, extending even throughout this solar system and other systems of worlds.

     And thus the memory of experience in maya recorded in the subconscious mind has superseded and eclipsed the great central sun of being with the lesser luminaries of the astral plane. And thus an astral astrology was born as the action/reaction of forces unreal: rivalries and hatreds and vanities and jealousies - and misunderstandings heaped upon misunderstandings.

     Now the resistance to the incarnation of the Word becomes the densification of the creations of the not-self. Now the incoming Christ must first push back the boulders of human pride and outwit the hostility of the modern Herods as they (the fallen angels incarnate) have purveyed a cult of anti-Life legitimized by the snobbery of a sophisticated science devoid of love and the blessed imagery of the humble manger scene.

     The soul pursuing the path of initiation through the Word incoming, infilling its own sphere of self-awareness, must become worldly- wise to understand the preposterous diversions and dichotomies of humans who have not one thought to be divine. Now the restlessness of souls yearning for other years must become a whirling sacred fire that consumes within its pathway every resistance to the Truth aborning within the heart of the little Child.

     Here on earth, the joy of creativity must be the knight in shining armor wielding sword to slay at once the dragons of social injustice, the abuses of the abundant life, and the interlopers who have stepped into the seats of government because the true sons and daughters of God have abdicated their authority to be bearers of the will of God in affairs both human and divine.

     The defense of the incarnate Word, cycling from the great globe of the causal body into the dimensions of physical consciousness, is the great challenge of the period of transition between an age of darkness and an oncoming age of Light.

     The tidal wave that is oncoming from out the Great Central Sun is the messenger of the new age of Aquarius. It is the energy of the Cosmic Christ that transmutes all in its cosmic pathway, buoying up the evolutions of light into a higher evolution, flushing them out of the murky waters of the astral plane and the mire of self-delusion.

     We the archangels are seven in number representing the seven rays unto the evolutions of God, and we serve with our cohorts of valor to transmit our auric inclusion of light as a veritable transfusion to souls whose destiny it is to rise to those rainbow spheres of Higher Consciousness even while treading the veils of time and space. Ours is a most practical evaluation of the challenges of the path of the lightbearer as the evolutions of this earth approach a decade of initiation [the 1980s] under the eighth ray.

     This ray is known as the ray of the Buddha and the Mother. The great symbol of the eight is the sign that portends the balance of the greater and the lesser self and the cosmic interchange between the higher sphere of selfhood, the Cosmic Christ, and the lower sphere that is the soul entering in day by day, increment by increment, to the house of the LORD.

     We would fortify the children of God with an understanding of the mysteries of the Holy Grail and with the vision lost of the paradise of being that is to be regained. This vision then becomes the lodestone of life, the beacon in the lighthouse fixed upon the rock, the true firmament of being.

     With the vision of inner reality, you shall not be moved, my beloved. And the waves of astral condemnation of the little Child within you will be drawn into the whirlwind love-action of a heart aflame with the God-desire to balance life and set free every creature under the sun.

     Now let the elements of adversity rush into the fountain of light in your heart - there to be transmuted by the violet-flame fiery circle that surrounds your soul, O devotee of freedom - as you give adoration to the violet all-transmuting flame within the center of being, the very essence of the God of Freedom, your own Real Self.

     I AM Gabriel directing your attention now to the specific forms of resistance to the light of the Incarnation within the sons and daughters of God. By the Logos, I assess and I analyze the conditions of earth nation by nation, and I counsel the true shepherds of the people to direct the infinite fire into the cause and core of the diseases of mind and body now suffocating emergent souls because of their lack of surrender to the Law of the One - the Law of Love.

     The celebration of the Christmas Child may remain a Santa Claus fantasy unless responsible Keepers of the Flame recognize that the guarding of the incarnate Word must become the supreme sacrifice and the ultimate affection of the disciple of Christ.

     I AM

GABRIEL

     I ANNOUNCE TO YOU THE PURE REASON

     OF YOUR VICTORY IN THE SON OF GOD
