As the music of India fades from the outer ear, one hears the sounds of Ireland, of America, of Russia, and of China as the children of the Mother make music that is music to her ears. For out of the sound of the song comes the joy of the heart in anticipation of the coming of the World Mother.
How her children have awaited so long - waiting for her coming, sensing an aloneness so often filled with the preoccupations and the noises of life that, though they wait, scarcely allow her to enter when her time is come.
I AM Mother Mary, Mother of East and West, come in the peace-commanding presence to break the Good Friday spell. It is the spell of death and the all-too-serious seriousness of the fallen ones who are convinced that they have crucified Christ and therefore he is truly no more. And some of them have never really come to understand the mystery of Christus,1 the mystery of the resurrection. So much a part are they of the flesh and blood that must always pass away that they in themselves cannot perceive a reality beyond their own forms - much less his own.
And so, my beloved, we come in the flame of the God Star with our own brand of 'Sirius-ness'. For it is the hour of the crucifixion not of one son of God but of all sons of God who contemplate this mystery (to which I have alluded in my teaching to you on the Fifteenth Mystery of the Rosary2) that can come only when you have become the fullness of that Christed One - and then the decision, my beloved, which will culminate with the Word "Nevertheless, Father, not my will but thine be done."3
The dilemma of the Christed One - if it could be called a dilemma - is how to preserve the integrity of that Christ and yet lay down its life. And so I come to teach you on this Good Friday in the hierarchy of Aries - the hierarchy of the Son of God who declares, "Lo, I AM THAT I AM!"
This declaration that all that I AM in the earth is the I AM that is in heaven is truly the statement of the Lord Sanat Kumara as he has appeared to each avatar in succession as that one has incarnated with the gift of the Manchild and then arrived at the point, the point of Be-ness in the midst of Sinai,4 for the resolution of worlds and the declaration of being that all that I AM here and now is become the fullness of the joy of my own beloved I AM Presence! And that which I AM I give for the fulfillment of Life and Light unto the seed of Sanat Kumara and for the judgment of those who are the antithesis of that seed. Therefore my son declared, "For judgment I AM come!"5
Most blessed hearts, if the law is not understood, you may find yourself giving away the Christ as potential even before the full flowering of that potential. And therefore, the walk of the disciple must be understood. For it is most dangerous when one is partially endued with the blessedness of one's own Christ Self and yet not altogether fulfilled in it; for it is then that the fallen ones who lust after the light of the Woman and her seed come to take veil upon veil as they tear away thin skeins of light unto themselves.
Realize, then, that the offering of my son upon the cross this day is the offering of the full flower of the rose of Sharon.6 It is the Christed One in full bloom with that fullness of the person of Lord Maitreya - congruent as the interlaced triangles which are the sign of all who descend out of the house of David. Until the full flowering of the rose, then, guard the budding of the heart! Guard the sacred fire! And become sensitive by the sensitivity of the soul to the pressing in upon the heart of those who would pluck the bud or a fragile portion thereof that the full flower may not appear in due season.
The preparation for the fullest manifestation of the gold-and-white lily of your Christhood must be seen as the most magnificent walk of the ages. You have engaged yourself in conversation with the Saviour. You have contemplated that walk. You have taken steps upon that walk, beloved. And so, the Christ comes to gather you to his heart - gathering you as flowers that he tenderly adores. And by the crystal radiance of the sun, the warmth of the heart of the Son of God gives you hope, encouragement, blessed comfort, wisdom for the Path.
I come, then, in these hours of contemplation of the rejoicing and the blessed union upon earth with Alpha and Omega, as the Son of God - self-fastened to the cosmic cross of white fire - is ready, O ready in the joy of the LORD, to take upon himself even the sins of the world, knowing that in so doing that portion of personal Christhood will be shed as the shedding of blood, as a mist-fine radiance of crystal fire - itself absorptive, now prevailing around the face of the entire world. And wherever it is (and it is everywhere!), it does absorb that substance of anti-Light that the little flowers may breathe the breath of Life again and be restored and begin themselves to realize the magnificent starry point of Selfhood that I AM.
I speak to my beloved East and West who are yearning and striving and working the works of God that Christ might be formed perfectly within you.7 O my beloved, I come with a most intense love of the Mother flame - worlds without end! Feel my heart as I feel your own about to be born, about to receive the lowering into this temple so precious of your beloved Christ Self, about to pass through the dark night of the soul, about then to enter the dark night of the Spirit from the very cross itself, about to become the incarnate Word and, lo, the incarnation of the I AM THAT IAM.
So blessed a life do we live together upon this earth! So beautiful is our sweet communion with him, Jesus, even while there is the raging of the battles of the fallen ones amongst themselves. And as they imitate the bearers of the Light, these terrorists who fast unto the death,8 pretending to be his followers, pretendingto make sacrifices as the sons of Light may do - they are the impos-tors! yet they would appear to be the deliverers of the people by tyranny of Fascist governments. They are but another phase of the betrayers. And their death is not a hallowed death and cannot be called the crucifixion, which initiation is reserved for those in whom the Christ dwells bodily. Cherish, then, my beloved, the tender vine of the soul.
It is good to sing to the Beloved of thine own heart. For adoration needs to be given to the flame of God within - and thereby the sense of Self-worth in the hour when the fallen ones condemn not only Christ in Jesus my LORD but the Christ universally present. Not only do they condemn the Son of God but the soul reaching for that Light who has not quite grasped the fullness of that mind and heart promised unto each little one.
O blessed hearts who have enough of him, Immanuel,9 internalized to be able to don the shepherd's garment, I encourage you: Put it on, though ye be not perfected. Put it on and therefore go after those who are the sheep who yet require those who will lead the way and preserve them from harm.10 For harm there is yet abroad in the land, harm that is not readily perceived as the wearing away of Christhood, the wearying of souls in this path - the path of the balancing of life and the balancing of the records of death.
The planetary body reels in the records of death of a Piscean age that is yet in the process of being transmuted. As the currents of Pisces pass through your hearts, even your sacred hearts charged with the violet flame, a newness of Life is felt. And yet, beloved, none can deny that in this hour of the beginning, the new beginning of Aquarius, death is most prevalent upon earth - and famine and war and plague and pestilence. All of these are of the former things that must pass away.11 In the very present of your heart, looking toward the future glory, you must yet contend with records of the past - long past and yet lingering. For they require diligence of the application of the Holy Spirit.
I would teach you, then, of the mystery of being Christus and of giving away all that thou art - laying down that life that is God for all yet taking it again,12 yet retaining it hour by hour. I will give you, then, a simple comparison: the inbreathing and the outbreathing of God translated to you as you take in the sacred fire breath and as you give it forth.
Think upon the moment of the outbreath, beloved hearts. You press out the air you breathe with perfect confidence that there will be a sufficiency of air for the next inbreath. You care not to be possessive of that air. You give it all away, knowing that in the rhythmic cycle of Life you may take in sufficient quantity for all that you need - and yet no more, for you cannot breathe more than you can breathe in a moment and that you can use in that moment.
Thus it is in the laying down of the life of one's own Christhood. One breathes out all that one is as a holy breath, as the fragrance of lilies - realizing that the whole world, then, receives the crystal fire mist and is translated, yet knowing that the inbreath which cometh from God, which descends as blessed heartbeat from the I AM Presence, will in that single breath re-create, re-form, and re-manifest the fullness of that Christ standing upon the hill of life.
Moment by moment, you can lay down your life that the sins of the whole world might be balanced through the remission of sin through the shedding of blood by the crucifixion.13 Do you understand, then, that in the deepest meditation of your heart, which I have shared with some of the saints of the Church who have walked the blessed earth, there has come to pass the experience of the crucifixion with that cyclic flow of the hours, the days, the weeks, the moments, and the rhythm of the breath? What trust, what confidence in God!
Do you see how your fears are with fault and you must now become faultless - and can only so become if, once and for all, the fullness of your love of Christ and his love of you will conquer fear? And thereby perfect love will be born within you.14 And that perfect love, the perfect magnet of the Magnanimous Heart, will open the way for Christ himself to abide within your temple forever and forever and forever and a day of forever!
Now understand the mystery of the Fifteenth Rosary. Having attained to Christhood that is yet a goal for thee, you then realize that you can give away and receive again, lay down and take up! And the three days15 become the cycling of the three - the Father and the Son and the blessed Holy Spirit as tripartite light within your heart. In the twinkling of the eye, in the turning of the flame in one cycle, these three live, expand, express, expire, and return to inspire and to be the fullness of God made manifest.
How noble are ye aspiring - aspiring to be with him, to becrucified with him in place of the malefactors! Would not any of you this day give your life in living your life to be at the right hand and the left hand of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross? Blessed hearts, if the LORD has not called you - sent and signified byhis angel - to your own crucifixion, then you may appeal to theLord Sanat Kumara to be to the right hand, to the left hand, asbodhisattvas.
Blessed hearts, see the mockery of the Son of God as the fallen ones placed at his side not sons of Light, not saints to lay down their life with him, but those who had not that Light in them - those who mocked him and said, "If thou be the Son of God, save thyself! Come down from the cross, and save us!"16 It is the story of the ages and the drama of the Great Dramatist that there might be portrayed the supreme sacrifice of the Word incarnate. And thus God has allowed these fallen ones to come so near to be the mouthpiece of hell itself in the moment of the victory of Life over death.
The dispensation of the bodhisattvas carrying the flame of Alpha and Omega, tending the Buddha, is the way of the East. And thus, you may see the configuration in this hour of our Lord Gautama and of two disciples (representing the male and female polarity of the body and the blood of the living Christ) thus saying, "O LORD, our LORD, we will not leave thee to be crucified alone, but we will be with thee to atone for the sins of the whole world and to make of this crucifixion in this hour a trinity of Light upon the hillsides of the world!"
Thus, my beloved, when you say, "Jesus Christ my LORD, I bear thy cross! Saint Germain, I bear thy cross!" you may also be chosen to hold the balance at the right hand and at the left of the mighty work of Jesus and Saint Germain in this hour - bearing to the right and to the left of the Great White Brotherhood, of the messenger, of the servants of God in embodiment that balance of the flame of victory, of love so intense, and of the all-power of God that stands with the apostles of Christ for the judgment of the fallen angels as has been prophesied for so very long, even since the hour of their descent.17
Now, blessed hearts, on the way to Golgotha (which may consume for you many a year of initiatic rite with Jesus and Maitreya), you may yet give portions of that Christ according to the will, according to the apportionment of your own blessed Christ Self, so that you need not feel that even the dipping into the Fifteenth Rosary is withheld from you. For after all, it is the very Real Self, the Christed One of each one of you, who is crucified in this hour! And when the soul is so one with that Christ as to be encentered, ensconced within that jewel of the cross - it, too, will know the mystery of the Word, of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.18 Until that hour, you can attend your own Beloved.
Behold, the Bridegroom whom you have awaited cometh!19 He cometh, blessed hearts, as the one soon to be crucified. Receive him, then, within your soul as I did. Receive him in your arms of light and realize that all of you hold the very heart of the World Mother within your soul as you feel compassion for the Eternal Christ, for the Christed One, for the One Sent20 - truly for that Christ preparing to merge with each Divine Manchild. And the compassion of your heart is to run to the cross and care for that one in this hour.
Look, then, to life. Look to your brothers and sisters on the Path. Look to the Eternal God daring to descend in this hour into the hearts of his very own! He dares to descend to be crucified again and again. And you are so bold as to assume the mantle of the Comforter, the Compassionate One, even the mantle of the Lord Buddha, and to say:
I will care for thee, my LORD and my Saviour!
I will affirm thy victory.
I will praise thee in the hour of seeming death
That truly is Life eternal here and now!
I will bind up the brokenhearted in thy name!
I will find thee, my LORD, in the very heart
Of thy children helpless, thy disciples not yet whole.
I will give compassion as roses on the vine of my becoming
The fullness of the rose of Sharon.
I will.
I will give the precious essence of thy Life given unto me.
With each inbreath of the sacred fire, I will breathe out -
Purusha!
I will convey that element of Godhood
That God has given to me this day!
And after a million billion breaths in the life of Brahma,
So I will know that Christ himself is formed in me.
And I am all aglow!
And the floral offering of angels of the resurrection
Will adorn my form that is God's.
For, lo! Christ has come to live within
This temple where I AM.
Lo! I AM THAT I AM
In the fullness of the joy of the Godhead dwelling in me bodily.21
This is my immaculate prayer for your immaculate becoming of the Word.
Hear my prayer, Almighty God! Hear my prayer, Lord Jesus Christ! And so intercede for these blessed disciples who dare to affirm the completeness of our wholeness even while they perceive with all due humility yet the wearing of the shroud of mourning, symbolizing the garment of karma that yet is in transmutation - is in translation.
Step by step, thread by thread, the deathless solar body is appearing around you. And truly it is the gold-and-white-lily garment that has come forth in place of the shroud of death you have worn for centuries. I behold the process. I behold the beginning, the first step on the Path and the last. I behold the ending. I behold the middle.
I walk with Gautama. I walk the Middle Way with my sons of Light - Jesus, Gautama. We three walk the path of earth in this hour desiring to manifest, this Good Friday, the essence of Communion - the essence of the meaning of this ritual in the year 1981.
My blessed sons Jesus and Gautama have asked me in this hour that they might attend me in the hour of the Mother's crucifixion which is my own. These avatars of the ages count it all blessedness to be on the right hand and the left as I keep my vigil in this age of Aquarius - the crucifixion of the Mother God within each of you and of her seed.
Therefore we walk as symbol and sign that when the banner of the Divine Mother is raised upon earth, it is the sign of the resurrection of the Mother, the raising up of that Light, the raising up of the Life-force, and her coming forth from the cross unto the manifest presence in all the earth of the resurrection flame dwelling bodily within you as her seed, as her issue, as her offspring forevermore!
O blessed hearts, this sign is a two-thousand-year sign in the fiery light of the Infinite One! It is written in akasha that when the son, the daughter of God comes to the internalization of the Mother flame, then that Mother also will be crucified as Christed One, will be resurrected also as Christed One, and will enter the spiral of the ascension.
I AM the Mother of all devotees, East and West. In me and in my Immaculate Heart, one and all are blessed. Now perceive how these, these sons of God, have determined to be to your right, to your left in the hour when you share as Communion cup eventhe drop, the single drop of his blood shed in the hour of thecrucifixion.
I give to you that single drop. It enters the heart. It commingles with your very own blood. And you experience, lo, the burden, the pain, the piercing of the side - and that burden which is Light!
The single drop of blood is for the salvation of the many. It will wash you clean - if you allow it. It will be for your transfiguration - if you allow it. It will be the ever-present element of transmutation as you give your dynamic decrees to the violet flame - if you allow it. It is the gift of the heart of the Son of God in this hour.
Let us pray. Let us kneel together before the cross.
This is my prayer this Good Friday before Christus, before Brahman with whom is the Word:22
I come to thee, bearing the Light and a portion of the burden of karma of the Light-bearers of earth. I come, my LORD, requesting that in my Immaculate Heart there might be translation in this hour and my very own sharing of the burden of life with devotees of Christus, East and West.
All who love him, all who love thee, LORD - I carry them in my heart! It is my desire that, preceding the entering into this phase of the Dark Cycle,23 they might be unburdened somewhat; and by the carrying of my rosary of their hearts, they might receive some surcease, some forgiveness, some transmutation, some setting aside of their karma by the Great Law, that they might labor on.
That they might labor on, my LORD, this is my prayer! - that the burden of the oncoming Dark Cycle might not be too hard for them to bear, that the burdens of war and the rumors of war and the increase of the intent of the murderous one - that famine, that manipulation of the abundant life, that plague, that pestilence - might not be too hard to bear.
Therefore, I come. I come with supplication. I come before the throne of the LORD GOD whence proceedeth the flame of the ark of the covenant of my people Israel! I supplicate for the light of the Holy Spirit to intercede twixt the cross and the bodies that bear that cross, twixt the cross and the hearts and the souls and the mind.
LORD GOD who livest and reignest forever, hear the imploring of my soul! Hear the imploring of my soul! And send the light of the Comforter as sacred fire cushioning, transmuting, uplifting hearts already afire for thee!
O LORD, I walk with them in this year! O LORD, I AM thy daughter Mary! And as the Mother ray, I AM affixed to the sacred white-fire cross upheld by my sons Lord Jesus and Lord Gautama.
I AM with thee this year, O God! For I would be where thou art in the earth once again crucified. I would be there that my Immaculate Heart might be the vortex of galaxies of Light swallowing up darkness, that many might pass through the crucifixion and emerge triumphant, universally one with thy blessed Church - as above, so below - even the white cube of this communion of saints.
I AM Mary. Let the Light-bearers be strengthened in the hour of the judgment of the wicked upon earth! Give them the endurance of thy flaming heart, Lord God Almighty. This is the prayer of a Mother's heart.
I intercede! I AM the Mediatrix of Life - one with the cross of white fire, worlds without end, until all who are my own return to the throne of Alpha and Omega in the Great Central Sun.
Even so, come quickly, Lord Maitreya, Lord Gautama, Lord Jesus.
Blessed hearts, in this trinity of Christed Ones sent by Sanat Kumara, it is the holy one Maitreya who centers himself with me that the three anointed might appear to all Light-bearers of earth truly, truly in the benediction of Life, truly in the joy of laying down that Christ light and taking it again - ever expanding, ever expanding, ever expanding!
Lo, I AM forever and forever, until the fullness of your union in the cross, your Mother of lights appearing - lights eternal, lights of the hosts of the LORD! I AM with joy in the heart of the causal body of all life.
You may approach, blessed one. For it is I. I AM here. I AM with you. Do not fear the hour - the hour of your coming. For it is your hour and it is the hour of our victory of love.
I AM your Mother, blessed one. See me as I touch your heart through my own on earth.
Let us walk now the via dolorosa. Let us walk with him to Golgotha with joy! - O blessed joy, the very joy that was indeed within his heart in those fourteen stations of the cross.
O blessed amongst the blessed, I AM living love in your midst. Caress a Mother's heart and know that I AM with you alway.
