Vol. 24 No. 53 - Beloved Jesus Christ - December 27, 1981
Thanksgiving Day Address 1981
Seeds Not Watered or Planted

     My beloved, let us rehearse the familiar words: The flesh profiteth nothing, but the Spirit giveth life. Nevertheless, you are given to understand that Matter itself must be the instrument of the Spirit, and the crystal chalice is the bearer of the light.

     Thus, I come to pour the light of the Spirit into the chalice that is yet fragile. Yet there is one that keepeth the chalice of thy heart, the chalice immutable that is the Holy Grail. The Christ Self of each one is the keeper of the Grail, the wine thereof. The Christ is the bread of Life. I AM that manna which came down from heaven.1

     Understand that which is meet for you to understand - that the bread of Life itself cannot be assimilated except it first become the living Word. The wine that is poured must be assimilated. And the one born of the Spirit must come to earth to ratify the heavenly state midst those who have no access to the crystal chalice but are yet bearers of the fragile cup only.

     How shall the fragile cup endure the pouring of the wine of the Spirit? It cannot. Therefore the priest or priestess partakes of the bread of Life and of the wine and of the living water that descends from above. And the Grail then becomes the Word incarnate - and all come, holding out their fragile cups as the begging bowl of life.

     The bowl can contain only so much, and the trees grow only so tall, and the bounds of man's habitation allow only for light to be given and received increment by increment, lest the individual himself should dare to believe that he is become as the gods.

     Sufficient unto the day is the light. For the light itself that is given is not intended of itself to be the incarnate Word, but to be the magnet that will draw to you the fullness of the Godhead mightily - for action in the hour of action, for the courage to be prime mover in the hour when movement is the call.

     The light that is given is for the sustainment of your sharing in the gift of eternal life without your containing all of it in the imperfected state. Thus that which is given is an opening unto heaven, is a point of contact, is a sufficiency for thy life.

     Always is the possibility that this light can become the crystal and the crystal itself multiply greater light. Always the option is given, but never is it given without the most intense initiation and soul testing - testing the levels of harmony, testing the levels of will to be purity in action, testing the levels of commitment, daring to determine to be the conqueror of life.

     There are the lesser tests that are given only for the sake of those who yet bear the fragile cup. Then there are absolute tests that are for the testing of the vessel that is to contain the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood. It is essential that you understand these levels of testing; for little by little, all must come to all. For it is never the Father's intent, though He established the bounds of habitation,2 to ultimately limit the soul's soaring beyond those bounds when he has proven himself ready to move beyond with the angels in heaven and with the sons of God.

     It sounds as though we speak again of the measuring rod, measuring in the outer court of the temple and within - measuring the gentile evolution, measuring the sons of God, measuring the components of the capstone.3

     How do you measure the levels of achievement in the classroom of school? By the testing of that which the individual is capable of demonstrating physically, on paper. What are you capable of precipitating?

     The harvest, then, is the coming home of the results of the test given in the spring. All are graded, and it is very clear to each one - through each one's own Christ Self - what has been wishful or willful thinking and what is, in fact, in hand.

     These are moments of rejoicing for the daystar appearing!4 These are moments for the sealing of the harvest by the baptism of the sacred fire. These are the moments when the sons of God may be ordained as priests after the order of Melchizedek.5

     We come, then, to consider. We come, then, in the contemplation of the divine plan for your life. We come with the hosts of the LORD who are determined to burn back the barriers falsely set up by the fallen ones. We would establish the barriers of God consciousness and the opening wide of the City Foursquare6 for newness of life and for these little ones to enter there.

     Our gaze encompasses the earth. Our gaze is the filling of the stars. Our gaze is into the depths of the pool of the soul of selfhood.

     My beloved, I am come into your midst vastly aware of the commeasurement of life. I am aware of the ongoing need of every chela of the sacred fire to come into alignment with the will of God. I am aware of souls of light descending. I am aware of offices within this community that need to be filled by hearts that have a joyous fervor for the will of God.

     I am summoning my beloved for reinforcement - for service here at Camelot and at the Inner Retreat. I am calling those who understand the necessity of the capstone and of the fervent application of the light of Alpha and Omega. I ask you to apply your hearts and also to make application to our own messenger for service. For there is a need for great expansion. And the geometry of the Word that is planned in the coming year is planned with you in mind, individually, and your service that can be given. It is therefore time to state anew what can manifest, what will be brought forth, and what will you bring as seed of Light for the sowing.

     We look, then, to the remnant of light-bearers worldwide for establishment of a greater concentration of light and a great, great effort to further the purposes of our Inner Retreat. We look for the keeping of the timetable for the mastery of space and for those who can understand the equation of Armageddon - those who understand that there is a defense needed in the physical plane, in time and space, at the Inner Retreat.

     It is the hour and the call for some to go to be the firstfruits of the Virgin's seed. For it is my Mother's land and my motherland that we would restore. It is a place where those coming from all continents and nations might find a dedication of their nation's own dharma and preserve the integrity of those soul-groupings that must come together for the expansion/explosion of light unto a victory, until all may be perceived as one - one light and one banner.

     For all the nations of the earth will one day uphold the banner of Maitreya. But first there is the calling. First there is the necessity of the planting of those flags of the nations here at Camelot as the sign of the trek of pilgrims of the nations coming on a spiritual pilgrimage - celebrating, two hundred years after the Declaration of Independence, a new declaration of liberty, a new thanksgiving. And now in the century of the five-hundred-year celebration of the discovery of this continent itself, there are those who have come for the discovery of the New World, those who have come for a new celebration of freedom. It is a replaying, in the spiritual spheres, of all that has taken place.

     Let the pilgrims come. Let some realize that it is their dharma, in the manifestation of the Buddha of the nations, to remain with Padma Sambhava and the Mother on the mountain of the Inner Retreat. It is necessary - and already the hour is late - for others to come and take up the flame of the day-to-day sacred labor of Camelot.

     Let the heart then pulsate. Let the Son behind the sun now receive the reward of the pilgrims of the sun. Let there be new consideration and a review of life. For we would be in the hour of the Buddha's cycles - on time and in space - where the LORD GOD would have us to be.

     There is a forcefield to be maintained in the state of Montana. There is a forcefield to be maintained of the ancient fires of the Yellowstone and of the Royal Teton Retreat.7 There is a focus to be opened. There are ways to be charted. And therefore, let us consider, not only the necessities of the land and its economy but the spiritual mission itself for which some again must make the sacrifice that others might build and others might plant and others might tend the flocks and others might harvest!

     Thus, beloved hearts, a new wave and a new light from Sirius descends in this day of Thanksgiving. Let the chalice be expanded! Let the permanent crystal chalice of the messenger expand. Let the fragile cups of devotees now be fired. And let them bring those cups to the feet of their own Christ Self, that they might find the strengthening of the chalice of being, the strengthening of the temple.

     Let there be the chalice of our beloved Paul the Venetian.8 Let it be manifest! Let it be revealed! Let it be unveiled to those eyes who have never seen before the magnificent chalice of our Paul that he has created for the new age, for the Goddess of Liberty, for Saint Germain, and for devotees of the freedom flame.

     Let the chalice be the symbol of our striving. And let us realize that the holding of this chalice - that it be not dashed from hand or lip - is the supreme mission of each individual light-bearer.

     Think of hands raised, outreached, sustaining and upholding the chalice, that there might be a mighty outpouring from the very heart of Sanat Kumara in this year! Let us become one soul on earth, one heart, and one chalice. Shall we not all exchange the fragile chalice of the flesh that is without the Spirit for the permanent chalice of the Guru in our midst?

     Let us come to understand the presence of the Brotherhood. Let us come to understand the true mystical body of God and the one consciousness of all.

     Fear not, then, anything on earth or under the earth or under the sea. Fear not, but perceive how the pressing in of darkness receives a recompense of the pressing in of light - how there is an intensity, how there is acceleration, how the adversary is bound, hand and foot, by the legions of our God!

     Let us perceive, then, that the curtains of heaven open, one by one. And many a parting of the veil shall precede thine own fulfillment of the law with the courage of Life.

     I AM thy own if you will have me. I AM the one sent.9 I AM the one whose vessel is provided. I AM the one. And I place my Electronic Presence here, that you might understand the stepping-down of forcefields and your own dipping into the fires of the Holy of Holies.

     I come to bless you with the light that is the blessed light of the heart of every son of God who has moved in our midst. I come to bring you all to the point of the movement of this caravan of light and the perception of where the sacred labor must be emphasized, where the true direction must be, where the effort must be placed. I come to give you a unique understanding born of a unique contact with your own fiery heart!

     I come, yes! - to transfer to you that light of Godhood. I come to carry you far into the interior of your own God flame! I come to seal you in the Mighty I AM Presence of Life! I come to reveal to you the promise of ascended masters stepping through the veil! I come to make known to you that this is indeed the hour of the Holy Grail if you can perceive yourself as worthy, O worthy of the cup - to hold it, to cherish it, and to drink all of it!

     Tender hearts that are the tender vine - Come! Come and be with me in this hour. For I would take the whole body of God upon earth into my heart. I would shepherd you to a new hillside and a new and holy calling. I would allow you to hear the hymns the angels sing and the preaching of the angel of the Everlasting Gospel.10 I would take you to new dimensions where God has prepared the mansions of his love.

     I would not leave you comfortless in this hour of cycles turning, nor in the hour of the persecution or of the affliction. I bring water for the watering of the seed and the plant of Life and for the parched lips that pray the Our Father and give the decrees of freedom, hour upon hour.

     I come for the recharging of your form and of your temple for that service that you would render when your hearts would faint - not for fear, but for the application of thy life to the duty at hand. I bring reinforcements. I bring angels of the sacred fire to take up the watch where the fallen ones have been and where they are no more.

     I come to fill in. I plant new trees, evergreens, where the unfruitful plants have been removed. Where there is the barren fig tree, lo, I plant the living Tree of Life by the waters that flow. Lo, I release the waters that issue from the very heart of your Mighty I AM Presence.

     I say, there is a solution to planetary unrest. And the Lamb of God is with us! I say, there is a solution to world confusion. I say, there is a solution to the manipulation of the fallen ones! I say, there is a God-solution - and that God-solution is the light, the eternal light that I pour now into your hearts!

     O my beloved ones, will you not receive me? For I AM both the light and the outpouring of the light! I AM the light. I AM the light of the world, indeed, as long as I AM in the world.11 And I have purposed that purpose of Almighty God to be in the world through your heart, through your own Christ consciousness that you diligently pursue.

     You will not have it if you let go of it so easily, my son! You will not have it if you do not strive for it - even though it be a part of your causal body of light, even though it be the reality of thy Self at inner planes. There is a striving, there is a pulling on the cords of heaven that must be done and done daily, lest you lose that which is given for your calling in this life!

     Yes, I am your Father. I have ever been your Father. For my Christic seed was sown and is sown in my embodiment as Joseph.12 Therefore, you realize that I come as the Father of many sons upon earth and the specific son whose calling it is to realize the dharma.

     Recognize that one cannot simply leave the great Tree of Life and all of its fruit waiting to be plucked and trust that anytime, anywhere, some time and some day, the same opportunities will be there. These are momentous opportunities! These are momentous years! Do not resist the calling of the LORD - your own Mighty I AM Presence. Do not set aside so lightly that which is the proffered gift.

     After all, were you to stand in the place of the giver, as I stand this day, decide how long you would hold the outstretched hand of opportunity for an ungrateful, neglectful, or willfully ignorant generation. You would also decide, as a wise father, how long it is just to hold out the gift in hand and when it should be returned to the fiery core, that the individual learn a greater appreciation and the understanding of what it means to strive and strive again for the victory.

     Though there be the favorite son, who is the Christ Self of all, the soul must not fancy itself in control of that son. Therefore, in the harvest of years, of lifetimes, of embodiments - which now comes to you as the most magnificent and golden opportunity you have ever seen in a million years or more - I say to you: Flinch not, hesitate not, squander not thy light! - but realize there are more important things to do than surfeiting in the same old habit patterns that are only indulged because of a certain familiarity and comfortability.

     Therefore cometh the Mother and the Spirit of the Mother. Therefore come cosmic virgins to bring the flame of the Divine Mother in this weekend seminar,13 that all might understand how the Mother will nourish, will bring forth, will provide, will be the raising of the ascension flame to reignite and resurrect the inner potential of life.

     Blessed hearts, I must share with you something that is on my heart, and it is this: there are in some present this day kernels of Light - as nuclei of potential, gifts of God and of the great causal body - which have been allowed to descend for the opening in this embodiment. These are sealed as seeds, not watered or planted or given to the sun.

     These seeds rest in the chamber of the heart with thy Christ Self. And the seed is capable of bearing the fruit of initiation. The seed is capable of being the opening to the causal body of that which is necessary for you to earn the victory in this life and for you to give to the planetary body that without which it could not gain the victory.

     On my heart, then, is the understanding that for some it is a matter of fear, for others postponement, for others hardness of heart or an absence of Self-worth. Whatever the reason of dalliance or merely the unknowing, these seeds of Light that ought to begin their cycle of germination are not receiving the love, the intense love, that is the only way which the seed of Life can be opened.

     Therefore, I come to you with a recommendation that you apply yourself to your own Christ Self, giving the "Introit to the Christ Flame"14 - that you apply yourself deeply to the divine plan which you, as a co-creator with God, ordained and approved in the beginning. I recommend that you apply yourself to pray fervently at the feet of your own Christ Self that these opportunities, as seeds of Life and of my very own heart - one with the Father - be not lost, be not cast aside, and that this incarnation of the Word of God in you - this which promises to be the final incarnation - be not lost, be not wasted, be not the setting-aside of this grandest and most glorious of opportunities of all previous incarnations.

     Let us realize that each one is given all that he has need of to pursue the victory. All is contained. Some bear gifts indispensable to the entire community. Others are working on individual initiations first, to be prepared to take a greater responsibility and burden of light and karma.

     Let those who have the greater light not be neglectful of holy office or the signs that are written in the sky and in the earth. Be not neglectful of the Word itself or the call of God. For, beloved hearts, if you think, after all, that you may determine the time and the hour and the space of the call, are you not placing yourself above God the Father? Is it really possible to say to Life, "I will tend to you when I will"?

     To put oneself in the position of Father before one has become the Son is to interfere with the entire order of things and to seize a task that is mightier than one's capacity, and therefore to find oneself tumbling in confusion and chaos at the attempt to be the orderer of thine own life when God himself will order thy life when thou wilt come into submission to thine own inner being. After all, the surrender is not to something or someone outside of oneself! It is always the surrender to that which one already is - one is, perhaps, at the next octave or behind the next door.

     Rejoice to look in the great mirror of Life and to see the next image of thine own Christhood appear. Rejoice to be aware of that which is pure and perfect and powerful in true Selfhood. Rejoice to greet thyself in the embrace of the Father and the Son and, through that embrace, to become more of the One. Rejoice to know that thou art worthy of the call. And rejoice to know that the Father knows best the hour of the call.

     I have taken the call. And I have made my own calling and election sure15 by striving, by overcoming, by balancing my own karma, by dealing with the fallen ones, by retaining the sense of helplessness in God, that he might fill my vessel always. And so it is in heaven as on earth. The humility of the ascended masters, I think, would astonish some who ought to be emboldened by the Holy Spirit but instead are emboldened by a self-assurance not founded on the Rock of Christ within.

     Well done, thou who art weary. Well done, thou who art filled with the living Spirit. You have gone forth, you have sown, you have returned. And you have something to show God and man for thy effort.

     I speak to the Son of man in ye all. I speak to your hearts most precious. I speak to you the overcomers, my own co-workers in life: I love you. O that you would understand my love and my presence and my nearness with you alway!

     Speak, then, to the adversary. Challenge the liar in the way. Bind! the murderer of the most sacred love that we share. Speak with the authority of my name. I give it new to you, as I gave it to my disciples then. I affirm my name to you, as I affirmed it then, as the authority of your life to cast out serpents,16 to exorcise the demons of the night.

     I say to you who know me in the fullness of my ascended master light body and expanded, immortal cosmic consciousness: Speak the name Jesus the Christ! And in my name, in the name of the I AM THAT I AM Sanat Kumara command life free and bind! the entire conspiracy of the fallen race. It will come to pass. It shall be. For I have ordained this authority upon you who are the living Word! - you who are hearers and doers, you who dare daily to drink of my blood and eat of my flesh.17

     Lo, I AM Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending of cycles.
Lo, I AM Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending of all cycles!
Lo, I AM in you.
Lo, I AM displacing all that you and I have not ordained
in the beginning.
I AM the binding of the false will of the oppressor
imposing itself in the place of thine own free will!
Lo, I AM displacing that which is distasteful
unto the Holy Spirit!
 

     Lo, I AM come! - the purging fire and the cleansing light.
Lo, I AM piercing the night!
Lo, I AM going before the way of the Holy Spirit.
Lo, I AM the Son of God in you, one with the Father.
Lo, I take up my abode within you,
and I AM the transforming power of cosmos this day -
to raise up, to raise up, to raise up light-bearers!
Lo, I AM the praise of the LORD within you.
Lo, I AM that which exonerates each living soul
to be the fullness of God-freedom.
Lo, I AM the forgiveness of sin.
Lo, I AM the healing of the sick.
Lo, I AM the presence of Life that erases the imprinting
of the fallen ones and restores the cosmic memory of the
mind of God - of who I AM THAT I AM.
Lo, I AM the restoration of the mind of God within you!
Lo, I AM the restoration of your soul to that perfect love!
Lo, I AM the restoration of that flow.
Lo, I AM the sealing of the temple door.
Lo, I AM come.
I AM the risen Christ.
I walk the earth as the risen Christ through my beloved.
Now let those who would be baptized come. And let those who would be witnesses be witnesses. And let all know that the baptism is indeed for the sealing of the soul and the chakras unto the original divine plan ordained.
Seize it, my love. Seize it, my child. Seize it, my son. For without it there can be only the canceling out of an identity in God that could have been, might have been forged and won!
I AM the Sun behind the sun!
I AM the reinforcement of the rod!
I AM the reinforcement of Life.
I AM the will to be where thou art.
And I demand that the call of God receive the call
of the Son, that there might be the confirmation:
Thy kingdom come, O God, on earth as it is in heaven!

     With El Morya I repeat: Tempus fugit! The hour is late. Let all who have the opportunity for divine Sonship come into that alignment and be known as witnesses unto me in all the earth.

     I have spoken. I charge you! Do not forget my Word. Do not forget my seed. Do not forget my light within you. For you are a new person and newborn - if you will accept it.
