ON THE MYSTERY OF THE TRANSLATION

     Children of the Light of Freedom,

     I call for the amethyst jewel of Taiwan to manifest now! Let the light of freedom be ablaze on land and sea in the heart of man as it is in the heart of his God!

     As the tides of diplomatic relations rise and fall and the actions of the few dictate the fate of the many, the Great White Brotherhood is not moved. For we see the end from the beginning.

     We see the outworking of the human consciousness in human affairs at all levels of interchange, national and international. And we know, given current trends of foreign affairs, that there is a probability in the current and the direction of the tide which, although problematical from the standpoint of Light and Darkness, will nevertheless be the outplaying of an international game of chess that unfortunately is based upon the logic of the carnal mind.

     It is when that logic runs out, when all moves on the international chessboard have been exhausted, that the alternatives of the invincible Christ mind will be summoned. At that moment the students must be ready.

     Thus we offer the God-solution to every human problem and we counsel our representatives in every field, as they seek to maintain their forcefields of light, to clear the heart for the amethyst jewel and to bear the gift as the Magi unto the nations.

     I AM Gabriel. I have been sent by the LORD God on many a diplomatic mission on behalf of Alpha and Omega unto the evolutions of these systems of worlds. Although the political strategies of the fallen ones have at times been a setback to the strategy of Light, it is most often the culpability and the vulnerability of the children of light that carry the elements of self-defeat and a corresponding delay of cosmic timetables.

     Therefore, in the face of changing international relations, I bring a message to all people of goodwill from God the Father:

     The wicked have no power to destroy the bastions of light, whether by their manipulations of science, the balance of the international economy, or by the current recognition of Red China at the expense of the security of Taiwan1 - if a free people will unite worldwide to confirm their freedom in a holy alliance of the will of God through the heart of the blessed God of Freedom, Saint Germain.

     The tyrannies and treacheries of a Babylon or an Assyria, of a Gog or a Magog,2 have no power to deter the unalterable divine plan of Almighty God for the hundred and forty and four thousand, for the City Foursquare,3 and for the path of the ascension for those who elect to do the will of God.

     When freedom is pursued as a virtue of the Holy Spirit, as an element of the Personhood of God himself, then that right and that freedom is defended by all of the hosts of the LORD and the armies of heaven led by The Faithful and True,4 camped even now upon the hillsides of both Taiwan and mainland China.

     But when the people place their trust solely in physical armaments and diplomatic accords, when the day of karmic reckoning, individual and national, is upon them, all of their defenses and diplomatic agreements cannot hold back the descending light of God that accelerates the return of the collective misqualification of God's energy by the people and by their leaders who have mismanaged his government over the nations.

     The law of karma is inexorable. It exacts of each soul a just recompense of energy expended and energy interchanged with every other soul.

     The leaders of the nations can do no more than the people allow. The great question of the hour is: How much will the people allow? How long will they allow their representatives to act in their name and yet to betray the inner flame of freedom that burns on the altar of every heart?

     Will the Communist leaders of Red China be able to subdue and assimilate the people of Taiwan by levels of human force? Or will they lure them with overtures of a peace that is without honor?

     The answer is: If the people allow it.

     Men and women, one by one, can be the instrument of the salvation of earth and all nations if and when they allow God to work through them. Solutions sought by human means alone, neglecting the priority of the Logos, must come to naught. "But my words shall not pass away."5

     Kingdoms may rise and fall, but the soul tethered to the personal Christ Self through Jesus Christ, Saint Germain, Mother Mary, and every ascended master of the Great White Brotherhood will remain a pillar in the temple of my God,6 both in heaven and in earth.

     The Darjeeling Council sets forth its solution to world problems. It is Mission Amethyst Jewel. We stand in a vote of confidence around the Darjeeling Council table in honor of Saint Germain and all servant-sons and daughters who embody the Great Spirit of Freedom as a mystery of the Holy Grail.

     We do not bargain with men's souls. We do not trade a free nation, a free people, for the security of an alliance with those who have built their empires upon the blood of martyrs, millions upon millions of souls murdered for the dragon of World Communism - perverting the energies of Alpha and Omega, East and West, through the governments of the fallen ones in the Soviet Union and Red China.

     The silent witness of the slain upon the altar of God is that the crucifixion which they have endured in the battle of world freedom leads not to the death of the soul or the death of the flame of freedom that yet burns upon the altar of the nations, but to a glorious resurrection of the soul and its freedom through the path of initiation opened to the Jew and Gentile nations by the Saviour Jesus Christ.

     Through the crucifixion and the blood of the martyrs, spilled just as his blood was spilled upon the cross, there comes the judgment of the princes of darkness, of the kings of the earth and the great men and the rich men and the chief captains and the mighty men and every bondman and every free man7 who has failed to acclaim the Lord Christ as the God who is the Life and the Person of every son and daughter.

     Those who have denied the Word incarnate in his children, those who have failed to give God the preeminence due his holy name I AM THAT I AM, cry out to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"8

     The Lamb is the Person of God, or Guru - always present in the embodied prophet and messenger - who sits upon the throne of the great threefold flame within the heart of every disciple of that Lamb and of that universal Christ in heaven and in earth, of whom the ascended masters and their embodied messengers and disciples are the logical extension.

     Learn then the mystery of the Grail. The wrath of the Lamb is the white light of Alpha and Omega, always present in those who have not broken their tie to the great chain of hierarchy, the chain of all who share consciously in the universal being of God.

     This white light of the Mother in the Matter sphere of being and of the Father in the Spirit sphere is the acceleration of karma, as Above so below, which can take place only through the embodiment of the Lamb. The Lamb, my beloved, is incarnate wherever there is the Guru-chela relationship held intact by the cords of love that bind the soul to the universal law of being.

     Think not that the martyrs of World Communism have died in vain, nor that they do not exercise the power of Almighty God as a counterweight to human infamy. For John the Revelator saw "under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O LORD, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

     "And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them that they should rest yet for a little season until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."9 Unto them is the Word of the LORD spoken and through them he continues to utter his decree: Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

     The crucifixion is the judgment. Each time the Son of God is nailed to the cross of World Communism, the fallen ones are judged. And while their end is the second death before the Court of the Sacred Fire in the final judgment,10 sons and daughters of the cross of Alpha and Omega go marching on to the Great Central Sun on the path of glory from sea to shining sea.

     Now we contemplate the great mystery of the translation whereby, through the baptism of the Holy Ghost11 and through the blessed violet transmuting flame, the gift of the immortal Saint Germain, chelas of the ascended masters in embodiment become the counterpart of the saints robed in white, holding the balance of life in Matter on behalf of earth and her evolutions and the souls "slain for the word of God" abiding in the etheric plane.

     Thus those "that should be killed" yet abiding in time and space understand the meaning of the translation of the very spirit of prophecy. They understand death as the death of the carnal mind and of the human ego and the ultimate triumph of the Son of God and his victory over hell and death12 to be reenacted by the Piscean conqueror in the Aquarian age right within their very own body temples - even in the secret chamber of the heart.

     These stand in life this hour as they stand in the violet transmuting flame to transmute the liar and his lie, the murderer and his murder. They know the meaning of the amethyst jewel, for they have become that jewel in the purple fiery heart of Saint Germain.

     They will stand on the shores of a physical universe to behold the new heaven and the new earth within the configuration of their own stellar body, the great causal body of Life, and of their own Great Central Sun, the I AM THAT I AM. They will see the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our LORD and of his Christ13 in the white sphere of the Mother exalted and expanded in the Matter temple.

     Just as the Person of Christ, when enthroned by the free will of the soul within the temple of his very own being, becomes the amethyst jewel for the crystallization of the soul's alchemical marriage to the living Spirit - so the disciples of that path of God-realization who cluster around the One who is the Word, the Lamb incarnate, form the amethyst jewel of community: clusters of `neutrons' and `protons' as particles of participation in the great God-awareness which the Great White Brotherhood is committed to sustain within the earth body as a counterweight of Light midst an evolution yet in the darkness of spiritual neglect.

     This multiplication of the light body of God-servers is the growing crystal of the amethyst jewel known as the mystery school which we have ordained in the community teaching centers of Church Universal and Triumphant.

     Now let the amethyst jewel of Taiwan appear in physical dimension. Now let Saint Germain's violet-flame diplomacy become the international coup that sets at naught the designs of the wicked and out of seeming setback produces the miracles of the causal body of his own Guru, the Great Divine Director, of the jeweled mind of the Buddha, and of his own vast storehouse of Merlin's magical Mother light.

     You who would see Camelot come again nation by nation, this is the year of the rallying of knights and ladies of the flame standing on the line with Morya and Mother where Light meets Darkness and consumes it.

     I AM

GABRIEL

     I ANNOUNCE TO YOU

     THE AMETHYST JEWEL

     FOR THE ALCHEMY OF GOD-FREEDOM

     NATION BY NATION

Volume 22, Number 2, footnote 1. U.S. recognition of Red China: On December 15, 1978, President Carter announced simultaneously with officials in Peking that after 30 years of nonrecognition, diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the U.S. would be formally established as of January 1, 1979. The U.S. also agreed to sever diplomatic relations with the Republic of China (Taiwan), which it had previously recognized as the sole legal government of China, and to terminate the 1954 Mutual Defense Treaty with Taiwan at the end of 1979. In his nationally televised speech, Carter said that by recognizing the PRC as the single government of China, "we are recognizing simple reality." He added that the U.S. would continue to maintain "cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan." The first major step in publicly acknowledging the legitimacy of the Communist regime had come in 1972 with the signing of the Shanghai Communiqué by the U.S. and Peking at the conclusion of President Nixon's trip to China. In that communiqué the U.S. pledged to reduce its forces and military installations on Taiwan as "tension in the area diminishes." But even though efforts toward normalization of relations had been underway for some time, Carter's announcement still came as a surprise to many. It drew angry responses from members of Congress who complained that the president had not informed them of his actions - despite the fact that Congress had earlier adopted a resolution specifically instructing the president to consult them before abrogating the Taiwan defense treaty. Senator Barry Goldwater and 25 other legislators actually contested the constitutionality of the president's unilateral move in a legal suit, but their complaint was dismissed by the Supreme Court on December 13, 1979. In addition, many were concerned that Carter had not properly provided for the security of Taiwan. China, in fact, never pledged in the 1978 joint communiqué to refrain from using force against Taiwan. The PRC's long-standing position that the "liberation" of Taiwan by peaceful or nonpeaceful means did not involve the U.S. was reiterated by the Chinese in their normalization statement: "As for the way of bringing Taiwan back to the embrace of the motherland and reunifying the country, it is entirely China's internal affair." The Nationalist government on Taiwan remained firm in its response to the agreement, declaring that "the United States, by extending diplomatic recognition to the Chinese Communist regime, which owes its very existence to terror and suppression, is not in conformity with its professed position of safeguarding human rights and strengthening the capability of democratic nations to resist the totalitarian dictatorship. The move is tantamount to denying the hundreds of millions of enslaved peoples on the Chinese mainland of their hope for an early restoration of freedom. Viewed from whatever aspect, the move by the United States constitutes a great setback to human freedom and democratic institutions ... Under whatever circumstances, the Republic of China shall neither negotiate with the Communist Chinese regime, nor compromise with Communism, and it shall never give up its sacred task of recovering the mainland and delivering the compatriots there." To offset what was considered by some to be a betrayal of Taiwan in the 1978 communiqué, Congress passed the Taiwan Relations Act, signed into law on April 10, 1979. It said that "it is the policy of the United States to consider any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States." In addition, it promised to provide the defensive arms necessary for Taiwan to "maintain a sufficient self-defense capability" and stated that the U.S. would "maintain the capacity" to, in effect, resist any use of force by the PRC to gain control of Taiwan. After 1978, the PRC began to issue a series of proposals aimed at peaceful "reunification of the motherland." The Nine-Point Proposal of September 30, 1981, for instance, offered Taiwan a "high degree of autonomy as a special administrative region" that would retain its armed forces and further promised that "the central government will not interfere with local affairs on Taiwan" - an offer flatly rejected by the Republic of China. In a significant development intended to ease U.S.-Peking disagreements over the arming of Taiwan, the U.S. signed a joint communiqué with Peking on August 17, 1982, pledging to gradually reduce arms sales to Taiwan "leading over a period of time to a final resolution." The U.S. also stated that arms sales would not exceed, qualitatively or quantitatively, the level supplied in recent years since normalization of relations. Taiwan charged that the communiqué violated both the spirit and the letter of the Taiwan Relations Act - and according to some political observers, this could indeed be the case. As the military threat posed by modernization and improvement of the PRC's defense capabilities increases, the quantity and quality of arms necessary to maintain Taiwan's self-defense (a level which the U.S. promised to provide in the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act) will probably exceed the limits on arms sales set by a literal reading of the 1982 communiqué. (See Jeffrey B. Gayner, The China Decision and the Future of Taiwan, Heritage Foundation Backgrounder, no. 70 [Washington, D.C.: Heritage Foundation, 1978]; John Tierney, Jr., ed., About Face: The China Decision and Its Consequences [New Rochelle, N.Y.: Arlington House, 1979]; Robert G. Sutter, China-U.S. Relations, Congressional Research Service, Issue Brief No. IB76053 [Washington, D.C.: The Library of Congress, 1982]; Luella S. Christopher, The August 17, 1982 U.S.-China Communique on Taiwan: A Summary of Its Terms and Possible Implications, Congressional Research Service, F/A IP 21 [Washington, D.C.: The Library of Congress, 1982]; Martin L. Lasater, Taiwan: Facing Mounting Threats [Washington, D.C.: Heritage Foundation, 1984].) The course of events that led to the fall of Nationalist China in 1949, the take-over by the Chinese Communist Party, and normalization of relations in later years has been carefully studied by scholars. One school of thought holds that there was nothing the U.S. could have done to prevent the downfall of Chiang Kai-shek. Others take the view that the establishment of diplomatic relations with the PRC in 1979 was the logical extension of a "hidden" policy undertaken by some members of the American diplomatic corps in the pre-World War II period and possibly earlier. They argue that Foreign Service officers and individuals in prominent positions in the Department of State actively worked to undermine Chiang Kai-shek and to promote the Chinese Communist Party - some working as Communist agents to carry out Moscow's plans and others, such as members of the influential policy-making group called the Institute of Pacific Relations, representing the interests of the international financial coterie. Thus the question, according to these analysts, was never whether the U.S. should recognize the government of Communist China but when.
