The Mystery of the Mother Flame within Thee:
The Woman Crucified within the Chamber of Thy Heart ... and Her Resurrection
The Breaking of the Bread of My Life
"A Portion of Myself Has Entered into You -
Flesh of My Very Flesh and Blood of My Blood"

     Standing upon the hill of eternal life, I behold the sheep of my flock scattered abroad throughout this land and over the whole earth. I behold them without the true shepherds who are my own.1

     I come on this weary day as elementals portray the weariness of heart and soul of my own blessed Mother, who has chosen not to be resurrected with me on this commemorative morning but rather to remain upon the cross in the mourning of those whose crucifixion does not end the slaughter of the holy innocents, the taking of Life by force. This abortion of Life continues. And the effect thereof continues to press in upon all of nature when there ought to be rejoicing of angels, elementals, and sons of God!

     There is yet the deliberation of the Three-and-Thirty of the Council of the Lord of the World. And the twelve legions of angels of the Father, who would have delivered me from the cross had I summoned them,2 are here in this hour for the deliverance of those who have been placed upon that cross - not by God, but by the fallen angels who once stood in his Presence but who have long gone out from him to persecute his children, to take his flame as the essential element of heaven - and to take it by force.3

     The stealing of the light is ever attempted as they pursue it unto their own consuming. For that which they have ill-gotten will turn and rend them, even as they determined to rend the holy garment of the one who went before me - my own beloved master, my own friend of light. Unto him I pay homage in this hour!

     Behold John Baptist! Behold him - fully the avatara of the age, fully the incarnate Word. Behold him as he shines in the darkness. Behold him as he rebukes the very darkness of noncomprehension. Behold him as he rebukes the Pharisees, the Sadducees who come seeking to steal his light, even as they would have stolen it at our birth had they been able to find us and tear us from our mother's breast!4

     Thus, when you see the fullness of the man of God incarnate and you read the Word I gave to poet whom I sponsored,5 there is portrayed before your eye the awfulness of this hell itself into which our spirits are flung for a season. Not I alone would live to give my life to atone that you might see - and, having eyes, see the presence of the Evil One in your midst.

     O the foul tongue of Herod, mouthing friendliness in the very hour of his murder of the Son of God - not once, but twice. Therefore, as the heavens opened wide and the master and his disciple descended - the one preceded by the other, as it is written6 - even so, the heavens opened wide for the fallen ones to have their hour and the power of darkness7 that they might be seen against the backdrop of the holiness of the LORD, Sanat Kumara, who sent us forth on a mission for ye all!

     It is for you that we have come! It is for you that we have worn these bodies of flesh, knowing our own end written before our descent - the beheading of John Baptist, my own hanging by the fallen ones.8

     Our fervent cry: Father, O Father, we are willing! Promise us if thou wilt, O Father, that these thy children, these our chosen ones, these our disciples, will never, never forget that we come, that we came in the name of the One Sent to dwell in the tabernacle of their own dwelling place, even the temple of the living God.9 Let them not forget, lest all forget, the message of our life: that that which is done unto us will be done unto you,10 unless with our ascent to the heart of God and the descent of the Holy Spirit there might be a communion of saints upon earth - O such a communion as the world has never known!

     Therefore, we have said: Let their rallying be around the stone that the angel parted from the tomb and rolled away - the cleavage of the rock by the lightning and the thunder!11 Let that rock be the rallying point. I AM the Rock.12 There is another. It is the stumblingblock13 - the point of pride of Herod and his henchmen. Thus, may they rally round that cross as sign of victory and sign of judgment.

     How oft have we desired, we two together, for you to know the fullness of that glory! With what contempt has the LORD GOD spoken through John the Baptist unto Herod "It is not lawful for thee to take thy brother Philip's wife!"14 Thus, with the full fury - with the full fury of the Lord Sanat Kumara! - he thus spoke, knowing full well it was the signal of his own end and the knell of death, even the ultimate expiring of the sacred fire breath unto God.

     Blessed hearts, behold the man. Behold this man of God who before me went - because he is and was the messenger sent.15

     Behold this man of God! Had he not come with his rebuke and the invocation of the judgment, I could not have come to be baptized of him in Jordan. He held the balance for my fasting in the wilderness, lo, forty days! See the compassion of my Father who placed one, the God-man in incarnation, before me - holding the balance of my life, holding it even through the hour of the temptation of that archdeceiver of the Woman and her seed for whose namesake I AM come.16

     Blessed hearts, even as our messengers today have gone 'before your face' proclaiming your personal Christhood throughout the land and the continents, so I AM come to give you the understanding of the purpose of the messenger in every age. No Christ can be born or rise in the midst of the people save the messenger come.

     Think on this. What has the messenger brought? First and foremost, the delineation of your own incarnation of the Word, that you might remember that you are come in my name as Bethlehem babes born of Mary to rise and shine in the name of Sanat Kumara, to be stars in the firmament of God's being in earth, in heaven.17

     The messengers have brought the message of the judgment, fearlessly proclaiming it, publicly denouncing those leaders in church and state - who have done what? Who have failed to lead you in the path of your own Christhood! Thus, the teaching is set. The judgment is set. And the messengers, by cosmic law, have been and are the incarnate Word before you.

     As John Baptist was my Guru - even Elijah, as I served him as Elisha18 - so behold the Guru! Behold, the God-man/woman as the androgynous Father/Mother God have appeared to you in these twin flames - for a purpose, I say! for a mighty purpose! - not for you to consider that their mission is the end of it, but the beginning.

     Receive my mantle and know that your hour is come when you receive me bodily into your temple. Therefore, beloved hearts, these roles must be fulfilled. As the golden scrolls descend, as rolls of parchment, so read the handwriting of God.

     You are messengers going before the One Sent who is the Word incarnate. You are the disciples who go into every city and town wheresoever the Word should come. You are the Marys and the Marthas who establish the home of Bethany19 in each teaching center, in every city wheresoever I would go through my messenger and through the Mother whose time is come. Therefore you are the clearing of the way, even as the Mother has cleared the way before you, even as the ascended messenger so cleared the way before her.

     Thus, in the mighty figure eight of this decade of the eighties - at any hour and day - you may be called upon to fulfill the light of John the Baptist and to retire that the incarnate Word might speak. And then again, you know that the messengers have established the platform for your denunciation of the fallen ones, for your calling of the disciples unto the Lord Sanat Kumara.

     Hear our cry! For I have said to you that many John the Baptists are needed. And it is true that many shepherds coming in my name are needed. Understand the roll call and the calling of your role. And do not miss your cues upon this foundation of Life. For it is the foundation of the crystal white, dazzling pyramid of Life which ye are!

     This is the hour of the Guru becoming the chela and of the chela becoming the Guru. Who therefore is crucified? Is it not when the Greater enters the heart of the lesser by love that there be the crucifixion? And by that shedding of blood, is there not the transmutation of karma - the "remission of sin"?20 Is there not the becoming unto Christhood through the eternal Christus by those who stand at the foot of the cross and receive the drops of blessed agony?

     For those who share the resurrection morn, I come. I come that there might be resurrected within you the person of Guru, John the Baptist - and of chela, my own name and heart. I come for the resurrection of holy office of chela within you, as you are God-fearing the man of God manifest before you. It is the hour of the entering of this messenger into your own heart's chamber, there to be the replica of the image of Mother Mary as she is upon the cross.

     You have heard it said: "Christ died for your sins." So, beloved, the eternal Christus manifest in the heart of the messenger is upon the cross upon the hill of Life in your heart - and will so be there until you take her down, having forsaken every jot and tittle of your waywardness, your ignore-ance of the Flame, your lack of sensitivity to the needs of the Christed One.

     This focus is in a sealed chamber of those chosen. And those chosen for this focus are those whose names have been written in the Book of Life for this initiation. Therefore, my beloved, the ever-present witness within you of the Mother of Life upon the cross is intended to bring out within you your most intense compassion, fulfilling every element of the Law, in order that thou mayest receive the Mother down from the cross and hold her in thine arms that the world, too, might receive the grace and the benediction of Life.

     The presence of the Mother crucified within is an irritant to every stain of sin and sinfulness and withholding of thy life unto God. Therefore, juxtaposed as thou art, O soul, twixt the crucified Mother and thine own self-will, I say: Choose ye this day whom thou wilt serve21 - and serve well!

     As I was upon the cross for the appointed hours, let me say, there is the coming of the Woman upon the cross and there is the resurrection. Mother Mary represents the macrocosmic wonder of Woman crucified! And therefore, this manifestation is the intimate and most personal initiation of those who are the devout chelas of the Mother of the World throughout this planetary body. Known or unknown, it matters not. It is by the measuring of the heart.

     Realize, then, that the hour will come when the stone (if it be there) of the hardness of thy heart will be rolled away and the Mother will come forth from the chamber of your heart in the full garb of the resurrection. In that hour is the opportunity for thy resurrection. See to it that thou art prepared to ascend with the Woman in glory.

     Therefore, the sign of the cross within thy heart - which I now establish as the cross upon the hill - is the sign of the four quadrants of thy being and of the divisions of the lines of the circumference of Self. It is the sign of Christhood, thy very own, within the four Matter spheres at the four points of the foundation of thine own pyramid of Life. Understand, then, that with the establishment of the cross there is a giant hand that moves and measures the time and time, time again, and the half a time again22 for that crucifixion which is for the atonement of thy karma.

     I have revealed to you a mystery of Christus. For this is the ancient ceremony of the laying down of the life of Christ23 that that Christ might increase within each chosen disciple - mind you, the chosen disciple.

     Thus, with the shedding of each drop of blood there shall be the increase of the Christ consciousness within those who approach the Sacred Heart of my very own God flame with reverence, who perceive the beyond and the beyond the veil, that as the Woman be crucified within you - so is your own Christ Self, so am I, so is Lord Maitreya, so is Lord Buddha. Therefore, we lay down the life of our Christhood for you - for you each one to whom it is given, to whom it is given to drink of the nectar of the essence of our own crown of glory! Therefore, behold the receding. We must decrease, thou must increase.24

     Summon the will in love to accept the scepter of our wisdom. Be the messengers of the Guru within. Go before the blessed inner Guru into all of the cities and the nations of the earth - while Christ be in the tomb preparing, unfolding the leaves of the Book of the Law for thee.

     Proclaim, proclaim our coming and the coming of the World Mother! For when the Blessed Mary and her blessed one be taken down from that cross, you will see a period of the resurrection spiral - the going forth of Mother Mary and this messenger, proclaiming the mysteries of the resurrection flame throughout all the land and the world itself. And those forty days25 may be forty weeks, forty years, forty centuries - as cycles of Life. The hour will come when the Mother flame will focus in the earth a resurrection fire on behalf of the new birth of all souls whom you will now kindle with the violet fire, with the sacred fire of our anointing.

     Blessed hearts, be thou anointed now for this the opportunity of thy life.

     I have taken you into the very heart of Luxor. I have taken you into the heart of the Great Pyramid of Life that you might understand this mystery of the Christus.

     Understand thy role. Understand the keeping and the guarding of the tomb while a Mother's heart - above and below thee - work, work to solve the problem of being for a planet and an evolution. Understand the guarding of thy heart. For thou art messengers in the fiery orb of John the Baptist! Understand the guarding of the heart for all that is in it. Understand the intensity of this sacred fire and this experience which will continue day and night, day and night.

     And if perchance, in the quietude of your meditation, you experience the agony and the ecstasy of this Person upon the cross, I bid you welcome. Welcome, my beloved. For your hour will also come, as the one who is chela one day becomes the teacher. Thus it is in the ever-expanding spirals of Life - we came and we come that all might know that the path of initiation is surely the abundant life26 to all here below. Abundant light. Abundant love. This is the story of our Father's love.

     Thus, I would recite for you the prayer which I spoke unto the Father in the hour of this glory. Understand the glorification as the beatification, as the descent of Light unto you - each and every one.

     Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

     And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

     I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

     And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

     I have manifested thy name I AM THAT I AM unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

     Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

     For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed - they have believed that thou didst send me.

     I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

     And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I AM glorified in them.

     And now I AM no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

     While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

     And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

     I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I AM not of the world.

     I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

     They are not of the world, even as I AM not of the world.

     Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

     As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

     And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

     Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word - through thy Word in them, O LORD, my God;

     That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

     And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

     Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I AM; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

     O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

     And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.27

     My most blessed disciples, I address you as I addressed the Father. If you will hear this prayer of my heart which I have spoken unto him, you will know that it is my soul's comfort unto the Father. In the hour of my own crucifixion, it was and is my desire to comfort the Father himself that his little ones will be safe because I will dwell in them - because I send the call perpetually that my glory will be fulfilled in them.

     It is the will of the Son of God. It is the will of our heart.

     As the Lamb passes through the gate to the slaughter,28 so our Father must know that these little ones will be held safe and secure, will be kept from the temptations of the Evil One - how else than by the dwelling in the innermost heart of these precious lambs.

     My admonishment to Peter "Feed my lambs!"29 is given to you as you go forth. But my admonishment to Mother Mary, then and now, is this:

     O my Mother, I take my leave of thee.

     Guard thou the heart of my disciples.

     O thou bride of the Holy Spirit,

     Come into the heart of my lambs.

     Be there the keeper of the flame of the Holy Spirit.

     Be there, O thou most blessed Virgin,

     The keeper of the Mother flame.

     Tarry with them, blessed Mother,

     Until I come again,

     Until I come to receive my own

     Unto the realm celestial.

     Thus I speak to you, dear hearts.

     The embrace of the Mother and the Son - the master, the disciple - the love of this eternal union can never be broken. Never is there an altercation between the Mother and the Son but only the alteration, worlds without end, of the inbreathing and the outbreathing of the mighty figure-eight flow of the mighty flow of Life!

     Now we see the face of the chela beholding the face of God. Now we behold the face of the Mother peeping through the heart of the chela. Thus the rhythmic equation of Life is seen. And as you are humble of heart, lo, great things of our God will come unto thee. It is the hour.

     It is the hour of our coming and of the judgment of all who oppress the poor in Spirit who have not yet but are soon to receive the fullness of that Spirit within the heart. Yes, the poor in Spirit are those who are waiting for the coming of the Spirit, even the mighty one of God. Their hearts purified, they weep. And their tears wash my feet. They anoint my feet with an holy oil. And thus their coming, beloved heart, is the sign just before the descent filling, then - filling, then, the heart with joy!

     After all of this - for joy I AM come! that your joy might be full because it is the fullness of the joyous presence of my Mother Mary within you.

     Joyful are the angels! Joyful are the heavens! Joyful are the bells that peal to announce the day of thy own resurrection! Joyful is the heart of the one in whom the flame of Christus burns so brightly! For in that hour of the fullness of our cup, we must run to be crucified in the heart of the disciple, lest that cup run over and spill upon the ground when it is every precious drop for the fulfilling of the cycles of Life within our own!

     Lo! I AM come. Lo! I AM come. Lo! I AM come into your temple. For I AM the messenger of the Mother in this hour and in this age. Her light is victorious within ye all. Accept my message of the salvation of the Saviouress and be thou made whole! And let the wholeness of our love be for this two-thousand-year dispensation, that Saint Germain might reveal the Woman of Aquarius, even the Woman crowned with the twelve stars of light.30

     Thus may the mystery be unfold that yet has not been told. May it come. And when it come, may it be the mystery of the light of Mother flame within thee.

     Children of the Sun, East and West, I shall now deliver unto you my body and my blood that is blessed by the qualification of the body and the blood of Mother. Come and receive the communion of saints.

     Bring me the chalice of the bread that we may begin. Please rise. Let the wine be brought and let the wine be served quickly. Come forward. [Communion is served through the messenger to over 1200 people (66 minutes).]

     What I have done, I have done.

     Understand the purpose of the breaking of the bread of my Life. Understand that on the path of Life there is the partaking of the bread of forgiveness and the wine of communion. But when I give to you, as I have done, my flesh and my blood, then know that a portion of myself has entered into you. And I also perceive that virtue is gone out of me31 - but for an holy purpose.

     Depart from me, ye despisers of the Word! You have no part with me. I have no part with thee. Come closer, then, my own. For my Life is for the atonement of the many and the few.

     As our Father has said, even beloved Alpha, the hour is come for those who have gone out of the way, following the Watchers in the stead of the sons of God, to come to the center of Reality.32 May it be so is my prayer for you.

     This bread of my Life is as a white-hot coal of angels.33 It is for that light in you to be the fullness of myself, that you might become who you really are.

     When you think that I was with you but three short years, consider that in the life of any one of the ones who are sent there is the apportioning of the hours and the cycles. The opportunities for certain of the teachings are past. By the mercy of God, they have been recorded - and, by your free will, may be published and studied and read. There are teachings I have given through the messengers which are finished. Though you come today for the first time into my presence, yet much has gone before. And you can recapitulate the sand that has already fallen in the hourglass.

     For some, you hear of the mystery - the eternal mystery of Christ crucified in the heart - for the first time, without preparation. For you it is the vision of the future. For others it is the reality of the present. For still others it shall become the sign of an opportunity lost.

     Thus, be aware of the passage of cycles. Understand the wave of light. Move with the wave - and let it move thee. For thou canst not turn aside the wave of light nor impel its course but only choose to be with it in the bursting of the foam of the crystal fire mist.

     There is the inner retreat of the heart - your heart - to which the Mother retreats. In a way, it is comforting to know. In a way, it is not. For those who live on the surface of their own world, it is an hard saying. But for those who live in the heart who have already prepared her room, there is the welcome and the rejoicing.

     So it is for our Inner Retreat. Therefore, let us preserve the here and the there, the past, the present, and the future that all may come in life and take up that fruit at the feast of my Father's table which is meet for them to eat in the hour of their coming. Let no man judge another's fruit! Let no man judge another's initiation. Let the tender hearts, as tender grapes, be received.

     I AM cutting off from the flow of Life those who have been sustained by the very presence of the messenger's heart in this octave, whose hour is come to swim in the cosmic sea on their own light. It is a dark night, if you will. But not of the crucifixion but of the severance that the individual might find the thread of contact and begin - begin the action of love and only that love that can increase the fire of the heart.

     Therefore, there is a shifting of worlds as there is the union which this one cannot, if she would, resist. It is the powerful union of my own with the heart of the Mother flame to which she has long ago given her life. This free will has been given. Therefore, in the sweet surrender, it is complete. And wherever I lead her, she will go. Thus, beloved, it is as though all had been done before your arrival at this conference. Nothing could be changed or mitigated, but you yourself have set the jewel of self in the years of opportunity of thy life.

     Let those who feel that they are now on their own recognize that all can weave a crystal thread out of the light that beats the heart. All can release that thread of light and cast it in the cosmic sea and hope that some angel of starry bands, some avatar with outstretched hand, might extend the arm of succor and safety and take that thread that is woven and fasten it again to the heart, the flaming heart of the Mother. Let there be the multiplication of Life because of this union.

     I have come for a massive release of light! I have personally touched you, each one. According to your faith, I say: Be thou made whole. For that which I have given to you in this hour, my beloved, is more than a grain of mustard seed!34 It is flesh of my very flesh and blood of my blood.

     I send you forth to be as I AM - conquerors of Death and Hell. Until they be bound and cast into the lake of fire,35 we have yet to be in our Father's service here below.

     Go forth, empowered as thou art. Receive as thou hast been given. Waste not the glad commission of angels. For you do not know if or when or where 'twill be given to you again.

     I, Jesus, speak to you in your very heart of hearts. Take care! Take care of my Life which I have given you. Take care of Mother. Take care of sweetest child that you now bear in your arm and in your heart.

     I AM always Jesus - always come to start a new fire for the burning, a new fire for your reconsecration to the next rung of Life.

     O hallowed spiral, here we come!
