Vol. 23 No. 41 - The Personal God - October 12, 1980
Out of the Flame of the Ark of the Covenant
Out of the Flame of the Ark of the Covenant, I AM come.
I AM the Light which lighteth my people Israel.
I AM the Light ever burning
In the heart of the Son of God.
 

     Why will you trample upon that Light, my people?
Why will you trifle with the sacred fire?
Why will you make common
That which is holy and sanctified in the Holy of Holies?
 

     The experiences of life are given
In order that you might sanctify my Flame
Within the very midst of your interchange
With each part of Life.
Therefore reverently, lightly, strongly, and with honor
Understand the meaning of the imparting of the Flame.
 

     Is the Mother so far from you
That you do not understand each sacred moment
As a dewdrop that would glisten with Her Diamond Heart?
 

     Some are so mundane as to pale into unreality,
And their very loudness is the hollow of all that is unreal.
But the quiet, the tender,
And the firm strength of your joy in Life
Will make for you heaven on earth
By the sharing of the precious dewdrops.
And in their sharing they vanish to the sun.
But you fear not,
For the petals of the rose and the eye of the Mother
Envisions onward Life becoming Life
In all Her transcendent glory.
 

     Lo, I speak out of the Flame of my people Israel.
Lo, I AM the eternal Shekinah glory.
Lo, I AM the point of Light.
Establish thou it within thy temple, my beloved.
God must be Real in thee this day,
For those things which are coming upon the earth
Can be vanquished only by my Reality.
 

     How unreal are the last stages of error
In all of its pomp and pomposity!
And yet how vague and vain
Are the vagaries of the human spirit.
They are unanswerable because they are not of God.
Thus in silence the Mother breathes out a Flame.
And the Flame is Her answer unto all that is unreal.
 

     The unreal yet sense the presence of Her Light.
For by contrast and by its all-consuming sacred fire,
They yet experience the diminishing of the unreal.
Yet they are incapable of replacing it with the Real,
For never have they ever contained the spark of Reality.
 

     Life is ongoing unto all who are Real
Who will seal in this moment in the heart a sacred-fire sun -
A point of Light peeping through the peephole of cosmos.
That point of Light can become a sun.
Yea, it is the Central Sun.
But you need only begin
With the inner vision in the mind's eye
And then the inner crystallization of that Light.
 

     O the terror of the terrified ones
Who can never quite enter the Flame!
Has anyone ever explained to you the fear of the fallen ones?
Though they would surrender unto God, they cannot.
I say, they cannot.
For they have naught to surrender.
And if they were to surrender the naught that they are,
They sense that they would be no more.
 

     Thus the dilemma of the fallen ones
In the last days of their disintegration
Into the Great Flame of the Integration of God
Is always in this manner manifest by the extremes
Of all sorts of states and levels of consciousness,
All of which are wrapped up in the sheet of the Holy Spirit
And classified "unreal."
 

     Therefore the Great Divine Director
In the midst of the people Israel
Does speak the word: Lo, I AM Real!
And ye are the Sons of the living God.
Go forth henceforth to live after His Name.
 

     Live in Life and be unwilling to share Life
With all that is death and in the throes of dying.
Be unwilling to exit the circle of Life
Even for a moment's experimentation
In the culture of death.
Be unwilling to leave the presence of Light, Light, Light
As the Eternal Flame, as your God Self,
As the Mother in your midst, as the chela who needeth thee.
 

     O do not surrender the grip upon Life!
As a tiny babe grips the finger of father,
So understand that in this strength of the child
Is the holding on to Reality.
And so the strength of the will to be Life must rise now.
 

     I call forth the Flame of the Ark of the Covenant
Within all ye Sons of the living God
Who have within you a spark that can be called forth!
I call it forth, but only by free will.
And if you have not given unto Life,
Expect not that Life will give unto thee.
 

     Stand now for a moment
Suspended and alone in the cosmic sea.
Visualize yourself alone in cosmos
And learn to be not terrified of thy Self.
Learn rather the responsibility
Of elevating God where you are.
Learn the great initiation of Life
Whereby one day you will be tested
To see what Life can manifest,
What God can manifest where you are
Without support from heaven or from earth.
Understand the meaning of the Cross of Life.
 

     I say, stand in the cosmic sea
And, I bid you, enter into God consciousness.
Rise then out of the Flame
And know that where'er you go, God is there -
But you will know Him
Only as He is known of you within your heart.
 

     These mysteries of Life I impart out of the Flame.
Do not consider my words as words
But as a cup of Life - an elixir
Whereby, in the new sweetness of the divine oneness,
You come truly to understand
Another measure of Life's mystery
And of its ever-ascending Flame.
Therefore the gift of Cosmos unto Her own
In the celebration of the Mother Flame
Is always the imparting of that element of fire
That does not leave you where it has found you.
 

     If you are not content with your lot -
And you should never be -
Then, I say, neither is God content.
For sufficient is your Light for yesterday,
But today the demand is for a higher Light.
 

     God is the supplier of the Light!
God is the fountain of Light!
But you must be willing
To dip into the cool waters sparkling -
Enter in, be washed, be baptized again and again,
And rise with the rising stream to that new identity
Where for a moment the very propulsion
Of that fountain of the Mother
Tosses you like a babe into the air.
And for a moment, only a moment, you fear -
Where am I? Where will I be? What will I become? -
Until, caught once again in the arms of the Mother,
You fear not but know the certainness of Her love
That releases you unto the heights and receives you again
For the dipping of the spiral
Into the very depths of Matter,
Preparing for the rising again of the soul
In the everlasting fountain of Life.
 

     O multitude of stars who have become Sons of Mother,
Bear witness unto these embryonic souls!
Bear witness by the singing of the music of the spheres
As to Life in its ultimate glory.
 

     Lo, I live in the Flame.
I live in the Tabernacle and in the Law.
I live in the writing of the Law
And in the pen held in the hand of the Mother
And in Her mighty sword.
 

     Lo, I live in you - loving Life free.
I AM the Flame of loving. It is an active Flame.
Therefore I AM there when you are active -
Giving and receiving.
But I AM dormant in the white fire core
Until you call me forth,
For Mother is a Flame of action.
Therefore the Sons of Light know the Joy
Of action and interaction unto Life and Life and Life.
 

     Life is forever pulsating.
The rhythm of cosmos is known in the heart of a simple cell.
Therefore Life abhors a vacuum
Or the absence of the activity in the Matter cosmos
That is the reflection of the rhythm
Of Alpha and Omega in the white fire core.
 

     Children of the sun, I come that you might pause,
Pause in the interlude of Life to contemplate its ongoingness,
Its stupendous activity within your temple -
Even in the quiescence of your meditation.
I come to give you the vast overview
Of a cosmos so unending
And of a God who in His unendingness yet blends Himself
With the tiniest thoughts and feelings of your heart.
 

     Take care, then, that these never fall below
The manifest Light of the Flame of the Ark of the Covenant.
For God is not in those thoughts and feelings that are ungodly.
And therefore the vacancies of life,
The sense of struggle and the sense of aloneness -
These come because of indulgences
And many, many prior indulgences
In thoughts not worth thinking, feelings not worth feeling.
 

     Thus, thus enter the heart of my Son.
Enter the heart of a living Christ.
Flow with the mind of God.
Let God's thoughts be your thoughts.
Flow with the desiring of God to be God
And embrace that desiring unto Love and Love.
So enter the heart of a Christ
And know that you, too, are destined
To be the open door of the Sacred Heart
Whereby all shall know Life and Light and Immortality.
 

     I AM in the heart of the Flame.
And the Flame is the Mother manifest out of the ray of God.
 

     O flaming ones, ye are the children of the Mother Flame.
Therefore let the children rise and take dominion
In the fullness of the glory of the crown of the Mother
And the initiations of the twelve stars.
When these are thine own,
Then the child shall become the fullness of the Mother Flame
That in itself atones and atones and atones
For the irregularities of life, the anomalies -
All sin, sense of separation, and struggle.
 

     To this purpose be that Flame -
Ever supplying, ever supplying the Light of compensation.
Learn then the law of compensation
Of the Buddha and the Mother -
Ever flowing, integrating, interacting,
Ever compensating for all that fails
To enter into that mighty rushing flow of their Oneness.
 

     So let thy love of the Buddha,
And of the Buddha of the Mother,
And of the Mother for the Buddha -
Let all of thy love be then
For the activation of the supreme law of compensation
Whereby the God of very gods enters into this heart,
This very heart, the heart of God that is thine own.
And thereby the Spirit cosmos does enter the Matter cosmos.
And therefore the God of Israel
Sends forth the Light of forgiveness and mercy everlasting
To the generations of Lightbearers whereby,
Whereby, my beloved, ye are called this day
Sons of the living God.
 

     O understand this!
Go forth with the banner of the World Mother,
With the fire of Her revolution in the earth.
Go forth in the supreme confidence of thy Sonship and know
That all of the mockery of the fallen ones of that Sonship
Can never deny it or tear it from you -
That only you yourself, by your own neglect,
Can falter and fall.
 

     No thing outside of thee can take thee from thy God!
Therefore be washed by Love this day
And washed again and washed again
Until thou knowest in thine heart
That the Love of Mother is sufficient
Unto all of thy trials all of the days of thy life.
 

     The only confidence that thou shalt have in this octave
Is the confidence of the all-consuming Ruby Ray
Of the Mother who is Sanat Kumara.
The universes bow before the Mother Flame of the Great Guru,
The Ancient of Days.
 

     So with all thy getting, get this Mother Flame
And understand His great brooding
O'er the souls of earth's children.
So identify with His Love, so be that Love
That none upon earth may ever say
He has not walked the earth in this age.
Lo, He walks the earth!
Lo, He walks the earth through you, my beloved.
 

     I AM the living Flame.
May you love me as you love God -
Personally, intimately in the secret chamber of the heart.
And in loving me, discern my Name and my Identity.
 

     Thus know God. Thus know God! Thus know God.
