It is very important that we consider the true mystery of Good Friday, that we understand the meaning of this public demonstration of the Son of God.1 It must have been very, very important for Jesus to pass through these experiences publicly - not alone that he would bear the sins of the world or save our souls by carrying that burden, but the greater and more important lesson is the revelation of the personal Christ.
When Jesus cried with a loud voice and gave up the ghost, it is written, "the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom." The veil of the temple divided the Holy of Holies of the high priest from the next level of the ordinary priest and then the people.2
It was the chief priests - who finally had become the fallen angels in embodiment, edging themselves in positions of power among the Jews - that crucified Christ. They did not crucify Jesus, they crucified the Christ.
And therefore, in the moment when their murderous intent became physical and he gave up the ghost and death was upon him, the veil in the temple was rent, therefore revealing the Holy of Holies as the place where Christ the LORD himself officiates as the High Priest in the temple of man.3 The crucifixion of Christ is for the judgment of all those who occupy the position of the authority of Christ and yet exercise it not as the Christ but as the Antichrist.
The meaning of the crucifixion is the revelation that Christ is every man's Real Self and that if that Real Self is to be (and be the one with whom the soul unites), that one must pass through this hour of the crucifixion.
Their intent is to kill the Christ, not the man. They recognize his power to be the eternal Christ in him. It is the Son of God in Jesus and in us all who experiences the crucifixion. And our souls experience this in the hour when, by the path of initiation, we are truly one in that Christ. Thus the soul of Jesus, the Son of man, was one with that Christ; and therefore effectively it was the integrated personality in God who was crucified.
These very same fallen angels had denied him before God in heaven, they had been cast down to earth by the LORD's judgment effected by Michael the Archangel, or else they had left the exalted spheres by their own path of lust to come in unto the daughters of men.4 One way or the other, they were put out of heaven because they desired not and loved not the pure Person of the living Christ.
By the denial of Christ in heaven, there was the denial of the Christ in themselves. And so they lost the first estate of their offices in the angelic hierarchy, came to earth, became the princes and kings, high priests and chiefs, the lawyers, the judges of the people. They usurped the authority of the Christ on earth. They moved upon evolutions ill-prepared to deal with those who had existed in heaven for thousands of years amassing the power of God, before their betrayal.
Thus, Jesus, the Son of God, also descended out of heaven with the full power and greater of any of the angels - for it would take one greater than the greatest of all the angels to demonstrate this victory of eternal Life before the multitudes who could scarcely understand with what they were dealing.
The same multitudes who proclaimed him on Palm Sunday, this Sunday last - who received him with palms and laid their cloaks beneath his feet that he might pass, gave glory and praise to him - now, under the magnetism and the influence of these fallen angels, could cry out for Barabbas to be freed and demand that that same one be crucified. This shows a stronger mind, a stronger will, a stronger power than the people had.
On the one hand, Jesus had the great power to heal them, to teach them. And when they were in the circle of the Good Shepherd, they were able to endure in his light. But when they came under the dark auras of the fallen ones, they immediately, almost like chameleons, took upon themselves their auras and were poisoned by their lies and accusations.
Pilate himself was not fooled, for he was one also. He had the knowledge of heaven and earth. He was a fallen angel who could have gained himself a great good karma. He could have spared Jesus in defiance of the people and the priests - but he was a politician. He was concerned about the opinions of the people especially. And so he did the will of the people but knew full well that it was because of the envy of the high priest and the Pharisees, their envy of Jesus' power, that they desired to put him to death.
But more than this, they knew that the Christ in him had the power to judge them before Almighty God. And it was for this power of judgment that the hatred of the chief priests was upon Jesus; for no one had ever dared challenge their hierarchy, no one had ever dared accuse them, no one had ever called them sons of the devil and denied that they were sons of Abraham - no one but Jesus.
He said it to them publicly. He challenged their entire position, and therefore they feared greatly - and they feared the people also. They would not go against the will of the people. They, therefore, had first to brainwash the people against him with their lies, their accusations, their disinformation.
The very same crucifixion occurs today, as disinformation concerning the United States of America and her servants is put abroad by the KGB who come again to tear down that Christ before it is born, before it is able to rise up, before the people of this nation manifest that Christ identity and stand indeed to judge them. For the Christ in all of us is come to judge the Antichrist, first and foremost in our own temple as the carnal mind - the specious, reasoning mind - and then finally as the fallen ones in society. This magnificent teaching on the position of Jesus the Christ gives to us the understanding and the formula of what we must pass through.
Jesus was nailed to the cross on the three o'clock line.5 As we chart this on our cosmic clock, we realize it is the line of identity, the line where the Son of God declares, "Lo, I AM!" Astrologically, it is the sign of Aries. It is the point on the evolutionary spiral where you realize yourself as the Son of God. Thus, he was crucified on the line of the Divine Ego by the human ego - six hours upon that cross.
You will notice that their desire to give him wine mingled with myrrh was to ease his pain, to drug him so that he would not experience the great pain. But he received it not.
Sometimes people ask me whether Christians should accept deliverance from their final crucifixion in terminal cases of illness. Everyone must make his own decision. Jesus desired to experience with his full faculties all of the crucifixion. He did not desire to be drugged and therefore be deprived of the moment of transmutation of pain. Ultimate pain transmuted becomes the ultimate bliss of the Son of God.
Thus, the Christ is given the help of Simon the Cyrenian; and therefore, we realize that Jesus accepts helpers in the bearing of the burden of the cross of world karma. We may bear one another's burden on the way, the fourteen stations of the cross to that crucifixion, but at the place of the fastening of the heart to that mighty cross, we go alone.
It is very interesting to see that when the chips are down, when the Son of God is so belittled, all of those who dared not speak against him when he was in the temple will come to wag their heads and to berail him, especially when they can group themselves in numbers. For, in actuality, they always fear the Anointed One but somehow are encouraged in their numbers to get back at him.
Why? Only because he would not share his light with them. He would not give the light of the Christ to those who had not lawfully earned it by discipleship, those who had not a chalice reflecting their loyalty to the Godhead - their loyalty to the Father and to the Son, to the heavenly hierarchy, to the Elohim, and to the mighty archangels.
And so, they all have their chance to get in their digs - even both thieves, one on either side. It is very interesting that Mark's account states that both of those thieves spoke out against him. They reviled him. Luke's account says that one reviled him and the other asked, "LORD, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." And it is said that Jesus said, "This day shalt thou be with me in paradise." But this is not Mark's account. Matthew agrees with Mark; and John is silent.
I think it is important to realize that at the sixth hour darkness covered the whole land. The sixth hour is the point of the soul's identification with the Mother flame. It is the counterpart of the Father.
We realize that Jesus was the great devotee of God as Mother. Although this is not entirely reflected in Scripture, it is true. Because the Word itself, the Word which he incarnated, is actually the feminine principle of the Godhead, which is the power of creation - the Shakti. Jesus was the Word incarnate.
In order to become the Son of God, you must embody that Mother flame. In the absence of this Son (`sun') shining, in the absence of his consciousness firmly anchored in the physical, the physical was in total darkness. The feminine part of each of us, the soul, was in blackness; for Jesus, in fact, held the Mother flame and kept the vigil for our souls' God-mastery.
So the Mother was eclipsed. And we realize that the crucifixion of Christ is ultimately the hatred against the Mother, for the Mother is the source of that birth of the Son, and the Son always embodies the Mother flame.
In other words, the Buddha is Buddha because he embodies the Mother flame. The Christ is Christ because he has internalized the Mother flame and externalized it. All mastery of the Matter plane by the individual signifies the quality and the quantity of the Mother flame that we have taken to ourselves.
The ninth hour is the hour when Jesus experiences the dark night of the Spirit. This is why we keep the vigil of the threefold flame on Good Friday. In that ninth hour was the snapping of the crystal cord. This we know is ultimately the cause and the reason for physical death.
The initiation is given to the Christ incarnate to sustain life, to sustain light in the soul in this octave, not having the tie to the I AM Presence. Therefore, by definition, Christhood must be that state where you have so expanded the light in your heart and in your chakras that you can sustain soul consciousness, even when the crystal cord is broken.
Now Jesus knew that this initiation would be upon him. He knew exactly what was to take place. Six hours on the cross of an excruciating death - yet he came to the moment of the blackout, the snapping of the cord, and it was so sudden and so painful to sense the loss of the direct tie to the Father, the I AM Presence, to the Guru Maitreya, that he cried out in response, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
One can only understand this if one has ever experienced the sudden cutting of the tie to the Guru or to the I AM Presence. From that moment on, being taken down from the cross and laid in the tomb, the soul of Jesus, working with the externalized light of all incarnations of his attainment, must draw forth from the Godhead and renew the action of the threefold flame and the pulsation of his heart.
Not only must he accomplish this, but by the same momentum of his attainment he must descend in his finer body - the soul in the etheric body, the soul clothed upon with the full Christ consciousness that he was - and go and speak to the most rebellious angels in the very depths of hell, to rebuke them for their evil deeds against the Most High God, to preach to them repentance, remission of sin, to rebuke them, and to cause them to bend the knee and once again confess the living Christ. And he presented that Christ to them himself.
Thus, in the hours of this proving of the Word and reproving the fallen ones, we see from 9:00 p.m. Friday until dawn Sunday - those are the hours when darkness covers the land yet the Son of God is fulfilling the twofold mission - the judgment of the fallen ones and the resurrection of his own body temple.
We will follow the same path in these hours and we will keep the flame in our life, in our community, in our nations, respectively, for this Christ to be the overcomer.
It says that Jesus cried with a loud voice and gave up the ghost. Thus he relied utterly upon his disciples to care for the body while he worked, worked intensely out of the body. The breath went out, the soul was in its Christ person in the etheric body - and he went forth.
We are reminded of the disciples of the masters of the Far East who tend the master's body while he is in samadhi, in other octaves working the works of God. The disciples sometimes tend that body for weeks, caring for it. If they were to abandon it, the body would suffer death and the master would not be able to return to that body.
This record, then, written in the Book of Mark, gives us much to ponder. We learn so intimately with Our Lord how the Christ within him and within all of us enrages the world and the powers of this world. They become very angry at the point where that Christ no longer serves them and their evil purposes, no longer is in a state of givingness of the light; but now the Christ moves from being the Mother, caring for all, to being the judge which discriminates light and darkness, binds the seed of the wicked and casts them out.
This is always the office of the Christ in us. And this Christ performs that work even independently of our outer minds. But the more we are aligned with that Christ, the more we make our oneness secure, the more we are locked in the divine embrace of the Beloved, the more there comes the physical anchoring of the judgment and therefore the physical rage of the fallen ones who, because of their envy and their hatred, must find some way to get even. Therefore, they view the crucifixion from their level. And their level is the hatred, the absolute hatred of the absolute Son of God.
But the Father and the Son look upon the crucifixion from another level entirely. It is the Son's initiation to define the absolute union of that which has descended from above with the above. It is that moment when the soul is fastened to the cross and, through the experience of taking unto itself world karma, there is a fusing of that soul with Christ. And never, never again are they twain - never the inner and the outer temple - for the soul has merged with the High Priest who is Christ the LORD.
Jesus steps forth from the tomb, forevermore to be Jesus the Christ. There are no longer the middle figure (the Christ Self) and the lower figure (the evolving soul) in the chart of your Real Self. There is a oneness that can never be undone because the alchemical marriage has occurred.
And this would take place by the sternness of the initiation, regardless of the presence of those who are the haters of the Light, regardless of their calumny and their intrigue and all the trouble they went to to see to it that the Light was put out.
So we realize that if we lived in a world in a context where there were no evil, we should still pass through the initiation of the crucifixion as the highest love, as the marriage of the soul with Christ - with the attendant bearing of a burden whereby we should experience the immensity of the darkness in the matter universe and the immensity of the Light in the Spirit.
I would like to ask you to join me now in giving the protection to all Christed ones, including yourselves, who enter into the heart of Jesus in this hour and descend with him to the darkest places and reaches of the earth to preach to the fallen ones, to awaken them either to everlasting Life or everlasting contempt.6
We have now another four hours of Jesus on the cross by our time; therefore, we call for the protection of each Christed one, your soul, and your Christ Self. We call for the initiation to be given to us, each one, that the alchemical marriage might be celebrated by us together, that God might release his sacred fire that makes our soul potential no longer an option, no longer an "if" condition, but seals us in Christ evermore to be that Christ, nevermore to be separated again.
By reenacting this ritual each year we find ourselves more and more and more infused and fused with sacred fire, more and more that integrated identity. The soul has greater and greater light of the Christ until the fullness of that initiation will take place at a time and a space preordained by God, your Christ Self, and your own soul. Preparing for it, you will find that you are well able to enter into it in the hour in which you are called.
I would like, then, to give with you the calls to Michael the Archangel, number ten,7 for the protection of this entire initiation.
I'm going to give this invocation now and you are free to enter in and confirm it in your heart as you will, or not, as you please.
Lord God Almighty, the beloved of Christ are assembled here with me in this place Thou hast given us as the glorious opportunity to prove our love unto Thee in the face of any and every adversary of thy true purpose.
O God, we claim not perfection in the flesh but we state before Thee and thy altar that we are the striving ones, striving for the perfection of the soul.
We come before Thee, O God, desiring the alchemical marriage of our soul unto thy beloved Son, the sealing of our heart in the place of that Christ.
Therefore, we do invoke now the Hosts of the LORD, beloved Archangel Michael, and all whom you have appointed for the guarding of our souls and of our Church and of our Mother and of our Messengers and of our leaders and of all Christed ones upon earth.
Lord God Almighty, we understand this hour of Good Friday, and we desire to keep the vigil with Mother Mary for every son of God in this hour - or whoever will, on this earth, this system of worlds, the galaxy and galaxies beyond, pass through the initiation demonstrated by our most beloved Jesus the Christ.
Our Father, beloved Alpha and Omega, our heavenly Father, hear our call! Send now the legions of Archangel Michael for the protection of our proving ground, our time and space, the base of our pyramid, this our Camelot, our Inner Retreat, our Royal Teton Ranch, our homes, our places of worship. Wherever we make our abode, O LORD, protect that place. Protect America as the nation you have designated where souls could come and prove the full power of the resurrection.
Protect, therefore, the path of the holy innocents. Lead each one by the hand to a higher and higher understanding of perfect love and of the treachery of the fallen ones who are always jealous of that love. O LORD, send thy legions for the binding of the envy, the binding of the rancor and the hate and hate creation!
Send thy legions, O God, this Good Friday and let there be the judgment also of those who put the Lord Christ to death two thousand years ago, who have never ceased to put to death the Christed ones and who do so in this hour. Bind their murderous intent and bind the betrayer of the Christ that places him in the hands of the fallen ones!
Lord God Almighty, I pray for the protection of every soul of light on planet Earth in this hour, in this system of worlds, in this galaxy, and in all galaxies. I demand the action of Elohim! Seal by the power of Archangel Michael every servant-son of God yet abiding in these Matter spheres who must now mount the spiral stairway of the Path and arrive at that point of union in the fire of Almighty God.
In our hearts' love, O Divine Father, hear our call! Seal our pathway to the end. Let none of these little ones be lost. Let them be sealed in the mighty aura of the Archangel Michael in the day when they must face the lies, the calumny of the persecutors of the living Christ, when they must deal with the treacherous aura and the blackness of death that moves in the wake of the fallen ones.
Seal them, O God, in the aura, in the great magnet of Love of their own Christ Self! Seal them in thy living Word and in the I AM THAT I AM in whose name we decree.
In the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, we decree:
1- Lord Michael, Lord Michael,
I call unto thee:
Wield thy sword of blue flame
And now cut me free.
Refrain: Blaze God-power, protection
Now into my world,
Thy banner of faith
Above me unfurl;
Transcendent blue lightning
Now flash through my soul,
I AM by God's mercy
Made radiant and whole!
2- Lord Michael, Lord Michael,
I love thee I do;
With all thy great faith
My being imbue.
3- Lord Michael, Lord Michael
And legions of blue,
Come seal me, now keep me
Faithful and true.
Coda: I AM with thy blue flame
Now full-charged and blest,
I AM now in Michael's
Blue-flame armor dressed! (3x)
And in full faith I consciously accept this manifest, manifest, manifest (3x) right here and now with full power, eternally sustained, all-powerfully active, ever expanding, and world enfolding until all are wholly ascended in the light and free! Beloved I AM, beloved I AM, beloved I AM!
Hail to the victory of Archangel Michael! 4x
And the Hosts of the LORD! 4x
Hail to the victory of Jesus Christ over Death and Hell! 4x
Hail to the victory of Jesus Christ over the Watchers and
the Fallen Ones! 4x
Let us give the judgment call now. We are calling for the judgment of those who crucified Christ and of those who have continued to crucify That Christ in the children of God in the two thousand years since the hour of Jesus' initiation and in all aeons before that hour.
As long as there has been a Christ, there has been the crucifixion, and that is why it is said in Scripture, "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."8 From the foundation of the world and his entering into that world, there has come the necessity for this experience. (Let us stand.)
We will give this fifteen times for the fourteen stations of the cross and for the fifteenth - the Christ crucified, you becoming the Christ and laying down your life as the Christ that the Light might pervade the whole earth - after my invocation:
Almighty God, in the name I AM THAT I AM, Lord God Almighty, Elohim, beloved Alpha and Omega, Our Father who art in heaven, hear our call on earth which we do make in the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of the Christ within us, in the name of that Universal One in the heart of Maitreya, Gautama Buddha, Sanat Kumara, all saints and ascended beings of all ages and all worlds!
In the name of the Christ in the heart of every evolving son of God, we demand the action now of the binding and the judgment of the fallen angels, the Nephilim and the Watchers and their seed, the devils out of hell, the demons and their discarnates, demons of Death and Hell, including the marijuana entity, including drugs of every form, liquor, alcohol, nicotine.
We demand the binding now of every force across this planetary body, including organized crime, World Communism, and the sitting in the seat of authority of all fallen ones who appear to do good, who say, "Let us do evil that good may come," and therefore abort the very living Word incarnate.
We demand the binding of all who raise their hand against the holy innocents this day! We demand, in the name of Archangel Uriel, the judgment of abortion and the abortionist and all who take life by any means whatsoever, all who have the murderous intent and are of the seed of the original Liar and his lie and the original Murderer from the beginning.
We demand the judgment of all those who are from beneath, who exist only to propagate the lower self, the animal self, and the Evil One.
By the authority of the Godhead, let the Word speak through us. Let the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Mother cut free planet Earth this day!
I demand the transmutation of the robots! I demand the transmutation of the energy veil, and I demand the raising up of every son of God on resurrection morn!
In God's name, I AM THAT I AM, we decree:
In the Name of the I AM THAT I AM,
I invoke the Electronic Presence of Jesus Christ:
They shall not pass!
They shall not pass!
They shall not pass!
By the authority of the cosmic cross of white fire
it shall be:
That all that is directed against the Christ
within me,
within the holy innocents,
within every son and daughter of God
Is now turned back
by the authority of Alpha and Omega,
by the authority of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
by the authority of Saint Germain!
I AM THAT I AM within the center of this temple
and I declare
in the fullness of
the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood:
That those who, then, practice the black arts
against the children of the light
Are now bound by the hosts of the LORD,
Do now receive the judgement of the Lord Christ
within me, within Jesus,
and within every ascended master
Do now receive, then, the full return -
multiplied by the energy of the Cosmic Christ -
of their nefarious deeds which they have practiced
since the very incarnation of the Word!
Lo, I AM a Son of God!
Lo, I AM a Flame of God!
Lo, I stand upon the rock of the living Word
And I declare with Jesus, the living Son of God:
They shall not pass!
They shall not pass!
They shall not pass!
ELOHIM ELOHIM ELOHIM

Beloved Ascended Master Enoch, seal us now in the initiation of the cosmic cross of white fire! Seal us in the light of thy path! Overshadow us unto the victory!
I call upon the flame of God-justice within my heart. Blaze forth the power of justice! Blaze forth the power of justice to the little people of this world, to the oppressed and those who are in bereavement!
I demand God-justice as the mighty flame of Love, as the flame of Freedom and Mercy, as the flame of God's Holy Will, illumined by the Cosmic Christ go forth now to comfort all people who are under the burden of world and personal karma as well as the yoke of the Watchers and their seed.
Clear the way for God-justice on earth! Clear the way for God-justice on earth! I call it forth now from the very heart of Enoch and all of his sons and daughters of light.
In the name I AM THAT I AM, Amen.

"The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance O'er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom."
The "Teachings of the Mother on the Mystery of Good Friday" was delivered by the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet April 1, 1983, during the Conclave of the Friends of Christ, prior to the dictation of Mother Mary; published on the 16-cassette Easter album, also available separately (cassettes B83069, B83070)
A Good Friday evening, my blessed. I am here now to bring forth from my heart skeins of light for the weaving of a womb of light as a cocoon the size of a vast cosmos, that in the angel hair of God's own love you might feel yourself protected even while suspended in a sometimes hostile world. This world, as God's world, is a world of love.
How interesting to note - coexisting in time and space with the beauties of God's own living space is an unreality of maya, not as wisps of angel hair but wisps of nothingness and phantoms, there where the Christ ought to be.
Images of the not-self parade across the avenue. And yet, in that very place is the holiness of God, but not in that dimension. For where men have dedicated themselves since even before the last days of Atlantis to perform the wicked deeds of the fallen ones, they themselves by free will have dedicated space to that which is the antithesis of heaven.
Thus I come to you who live in God's heaven in the very midst of a hell that the fallen ones have created. Now, which is real and which will endure? It is not time that will tell, but it is the heart of my blessed. My blessed and beloved ones, I hold you in my strong arms of God's determination that you shall be victorious.
On this Good Friday, many think of me as the sorrowful mother. I can assure you that my heart has long been healed of the sorrow of my LORD's crucifixion. Even the resurrection hour was the fullness of my joy. Therefore if there be sorrow, there is sorrow in my heart first for those who are of God who become the unwitting carriers of the seeds of evil.
So it was with Judas. So it was with this son. Realize, then, that there was a determination of Satan to place in his heart the seed of betrayal.9
Blessed ones, this act of the fallen ones perpetrated against the light-bearers must be understood. For, you see, it is an implant in the very heart of hearts, in the very seat of consciousness where the conscious mind believes itself to be in full control.
Judas perceived this thought of the Devil as his own - justified it in that inasmuch as the LORD would be betrayed by someone, it did not matter if he himself would effect and effectively bring about that passing. On the other hand, there was the ambition within him that somehow the LORD himself would rise up and proclaim himself the King of the Jews and restore Israel and overthrow the Roman Empire and show his power.
Did he think in his heart to precipitate a confrontation in which Jesus would have no alternative but to finally evidence who he was? I do not disclose all of the thoughts of his heart, nor do I seal the theories of men by my words, as to their own speculation as to what was the chemistry of that moment. But I show you this: that Jesus came to illustrate the confrontation with Antichrist.
Instead of waiting for an importune or inopportune moment, he began his mission swiftly with a fast in the wilderness - at the conclusion of which, the planetary dweller on the threshold did confront him.10
You recall his words on another occasion: "The prince of this world cometh and findeth nothing in me."11 Jesus was indeed empty, having fasted. But he was also empty of any point of pride or earthly ambition or ego or selfishness or desire of any kind except to be God in action. Therefore he passed the tests of divinity - the three tests of Satan directed to the line of the Father, the line of the Son, and the line of the Holy Spirit.
These tests he passed in the name of his love for Mother, Mother symbolized in Eve - I-Eva - Mother in the universal sense,12 Mother as a flame in his heart, Mother as the Word incarnate. It was indeed on behalf of one Eve and of many that the LORD came to face the very serpent of the garden. And he faced that serpent again in the garden of Gethsemane.
And therefore, to save that which was lost, from the beginning unto the ending his cosmic purpose from out the Great Central Sun was to defeat the logic of the Fallen One, to set the example, that you might understand this, beloved: that if the Fallen One may catch you in any of these lies or the ramifications thereof, if you may be tempted by devil reasoning, by human logic, to stray from the one-pointedness of your path, you will find that to consent to the statements of the fallen ones, to agree with them in their materialism will result for you in another round in entanglement with that state of consciousness.
Have you lately overcome an enemy within or without? Have you lately seen the face of Evil and its fruits in your life or in another's? Perhaps you have lately gotten the victory over some beast of the carnal mind. I am here to praise God, to love you, to cherish you, and to tell you I rejoice in every victory of all of my sons and daughters.
I point this out to you so that you may realize that each victory is a liberation of your soul from a certain plane of consciousness in the lowlands of life. You cannot mount the mount of God's love, you cannot climb step by step the highest mountain of God's holiness unless with each step you have overcome the pull of earth, the gravity, the thinning of the air, and all of the challenges that are there. But most of all, you must overcome planes of the human consciousness, planes of self-limitation, binding laws of mortality.
If you will consider your most immediate victory, you will find that it has occurred in the seat of the conscious mind, that point where your soul has touched the Mind of Christ and realized a great realization of God's own Reality. Standing in the sun of that Reality, you have said, "I no longer have need of that unreality! I have no need of that shadowed self. I have no need for this or that entanglement with a lesser state of consciousness! Let it all go into the flame - and may my true friends be those who are the friends of God."
Thus, one by one, you pass through life. And you understand that had Jesus inclined his ear to Satan, he, too, would have had another round - perhaps one that could have been overcome in that embodiment, perhaps one needing the fullness of a long life or another incarnation.
Therefore it was necessary - though he had overcome even prior to that incarnation - to receive the enemy in the earth itself, to know him for what he was and is, to prove to all of his brothers and sisters (which ye are) that you, too, can receive the mark of "100 percent perfect" in this challenge to your Godhood. And the challenge in the fourth point is also the challenge of the Mother flame.
Now, then, beloved, in the case of Judas, he did not have this attainment. And therefore, in a moment, in the presence of the magnetic aura of the Fallen One (the same Satan that tempted the LORD), he could give way and not hold on to the Christ, Truth he knew and he saw face-to-face.
You will note how suddenly and quickly this occurred. In a matter of a few weeks, his entire consciousness was aligned and polarized in the betrayal. And once he was poisoned in the mind itself, in the seat of the conscious mind, my son could but say to him, "That which thou doest, do quickly" - let the deed fall through the hourglass, that you may see the consequences thereof and that your mind might be cleared from this odious substance of that Fallen One.
For in the light of the physical precipitation of sin, there is actually a clearing of the air, as the vibration of the poison itself somehow passes into the act of sin and becomes concrete that one may look upon it then objectively and no longer contain it in the subjective mind and heart.
Thus Peter, too, who succumbed - after he had done so, saw clearly the error of his way, perceived how he had been tricked by his own carnal mind, and wept bitterly.13 And Judas himself went and hanged himself for the utter remorse of a crime which in the process of committing he could not have the objectivity to see, for he was truly in the grips and the toils of Satan.
Beloved ones, therefore in this Good Friday, I, Mary, say to you that the concern of my heart is for the children of God who are not equal to the temptation of the dweller on the threshold - in whom, because there is some fallow field in consciousness, a seed of doubt may be planted, a seed of fear. And fear begets excessive self-concern, a change even in physical, bodily func- tions, an acceleration of a consciousness of survival and self-preservation.
Therefore, the mind becomes clouded, increasingly clouded, and therefore darkness is in the sky. And the contemplation of rash acts, even considered to be necessary for self-defense, does actually pass through the mind. And yet, the origin of this is in death itself. From the point of fear, through the whole round of human creation - which I have taught you on my cosmic clock, dia- gramming world and personal karma - you will see that fear may be the original seed that leads to death itself in some form, even if it be the death of the image of Christ within your very soul.
Therefore, if there be sorrow on Good Friday, it is because I see that those who ought to be in the next spiral of their overcoming have setback after setback because they wax hot and cold. They do not see themselves as that yo-yo which goes back and forth between the influence of the Fallen One and the influence of the Christ.
And, of course, beloved ones, these two, being so diametrically opposed, increase an enormous strain - and tension reigns over the individual as he swings backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards. And so he says, "I must be delivered of this."
And at that moment, many make the decision to stand at the point of self-doubt and therefore to be certain in their self-doubt - if that were conceivably possible - that they themselves will not be duped, will not be tricked, will not be cast out, that they will be the first to declare that Christ is not the Christ but, in fact, the position they have espoused is truly the real one.
Well, beloved hearts, it is a tragedy but it has occurred again and again. I weep not for the fallen angels, but I weep for those who unknowingly have become their tools and therefore bear an enormous karma. And when they remain as their effective instruments, these individuals begin to experience a decrease of soul power and soul substance, and identity becomes less and less. For while they are the tools of the fallen ones, the fallen ones do eat their light. And their inverted practice of communion is to actually steal the substance of the souls of God's own, to devour it and therefore prolong their life.
This is because they have not been offered the communion wafer or the cup of wine in Christ's name. And therefore, they say, "What we do not receive by law, we will steal! We will kill for it. We will commit adultery for it. We will desecrate the Virgin. We will mutilate the Son. We will hurl down the laws of the Father, and we will pervert the force of the Holy Ghost."
Therefore, beloved ones, in the face of the infamy of Good Friday and the spell of the fallen ones placed over the earth, let us rejoice that God is real. And he will save to the uttermost those that are lost or almost lost, those who are almost in the grips of the toilers, and perhaps those who have already been abducted. By fervent prayer, we know that the heart of Christ physically flowing through your own is able to perform miraculous works by the science of the spoken Word.
And so the events of the news have shown just how effective your seminars have been, just how effective the Word is. ... There are some who stand by and wish to minimize this victory and the many victories we are seeing. They do not understand that these victories mark the point of the reversing of the tide, of the rolling back of that momentum. They have reached that watermark and they will now recede if you will understand that they do flee - they are on the run, and therefore it is the hour to hurl now, with the mighty archangels, that thrust and that roll and that ho, ho, ho, as the mighty laughter of the hosts of the LORD drives into the very core of that consciousness of unreality, this manifest Evil which is present.
Therefore, it is important to understand the strategy of victory. When you have struck a blow for the LORD, as you have, and they are on the run, it is important to pursue with more dynamic decrees. For if they run and feel no one pursuing behind them, they will soon slow down. And if again they consider that no one is looking, they will attempt to regroup and regain that which was lost.
And therefore, we must have a continuing and organized action in our study groups and teaching centers and with each individual. We must have, therefore, a cumulative awareness of that which we are about and not allow the fires in the camp to go out, lest the enemy consider that we are no longer alert.
Far from it - we are alert and we are on the move! And there is much progress and much reason for victory in this hour. All the more why those betrayers, even of the Mother and my heart, even of the Messengers and the teaching, take this hour and opportunity to attempt to strike a blow against the expansion that has become a mighty release of Light - even a fireworks in spring, as the aurora borealis does sing and the sky of the north awaits the coming of the children of the sun to the Heart of the Inner Retreat.
Yes, I am sorrowful for those who do receive the seeds of the toilers - who become incensed, whose auras are therefore inverted, and the darkness that was in them is multiplied tenfold or a hundredfold by their acceptance of the planetary dweller on the threshold multiplying that personal dweller.
Realize, then, that the confrontation objectively with the one called Satan, who may come to you in any guise, serves you with notice as much as if it were Maitreya himself handing you the paper declaring the initiation - the initiation that you must also confront the adversary within and slay that adversary, lest the one without catch you off-guard and find something in you, when there should be nothing at all.
Let there be the self-emptying. Let there be the filling of oneself by the LORD! Let Jesus fill your emptied self with joy, and let his joy suffice thee to meet every human need until you are weaned of those needs and come to another plane where you perceive in love and compassion that there is a higher need in your life, one that supersedes the past. It is your soul's longing for the true companionship of Christ, the friend of your life.
Make friends with him, I say, as you have never done before. When you hold his hand, clasp it tight. And do not wait for him to clasp yours tighter. Therefore, understand that there must be a will in the grasp and a determination to hang on and to go where he goes, wherever he may take you.
Secondly, my sorrow on Good Friday must also be somewhat to see the continuing bearing of the burden by our blessed devotees, by our Messenger. But I must tell you, the sorrow is greater for the one who is betrayer. For, after all, the sons of God live in the earth for the manifestation of the Light that contrasts the darkness. They expect to be line-to-line in that mark of confrontation. They expect and understand this way, and that it is the way that leads to victory.
The strength of the son of God to overcome is the greatest joy of Good Friday. The greatest joy of the Mother is this realization that the one who is Christ becomes another who shall light the world - for "as long as I AM in the world, I AM the light of the world."
I, Mary, say this so that you may understand that Jesus, Saint Germain, El Morya, and the sons of heaven can only be the light of the world so long as they are in the world physically. Therefore, there must be a physical oneness of yourself with the saints of heaven. And they may stand where you stand, even as hell stands where heaven is - except this is by the magnet of Love and not by the warfare of the unreal pitted against the real.
This congruency and oneness is that lawful state of hierarchy stretched out across a cosmos and then condensed and compressed into one fiery diamond heart, one single devotee, one single chela unswerving that becomes the point of our entrance. And I, Mary, speak from that heart of that chela and I say, in the name of the blessed rosary and your offering thereof: As long as I AM in the world of you and in the seat of your consciousness, I AM the light of the World Mother through you!
And in the hours and the moments when you intensify that light and that call, we are one. There is no separation. You know the Friend, you know the divine Lover of your soul, you know the bliss of that communion, and you feel the flow of fire that is not entirely your own.
It is your own gathering of the flowers of spring and of the essence of the heart of Christ, and it is the focusing through this of our hearts' fire which we have garnered as bouquets of stars and causal bodies and daisies of your adorations that form a chain across the sky and pierce the night as a streak of lightning - and yet is still the endless chain of souls, the endless chain of daisies in the field of the LORD.
Yes, all of this in your heart makes you the effective spokesmen for the Great White Brotherhood. May it be so.
Let us crown Him with many crowns. Let us place the crown of our hearts' love upon the Christ in one another. Let us worship together the living God and know that because this Friday is come, because it is come and because He is victorious, nothing - no, nothing - from the very depths of hell to the heights of heaven, can take from you your victory!
And none, blessed hearts, can give it to you. You must take it to yourself and you must give it as a gift to God and all of life. Your victory is the most private affair of your entire life and lifestream. Your victory is that point of communion where only the One can occupy the third eye and the heart.
O my blest Raphael, teach them the point of victory, theirs to seize and run with! Teach them the victory of the souls departing this day and mounting to the higher retreats - souls whose lives have been well lived in search of God, who now will have open to them truly the portals of heaven for a continuing study and experience in the retreats of the Brotherhood - that they, too, might have their hour and their day of victory on earth. Let no man take thy crown, thy opportunity for victory.
We would not see a victory half done, nor would you. And this is why so many desire to go back, to reembody, to "do it right," and to leave a record that will encourage all to fight for the highest and the noblest in self.
I am a mother of your heart. I am an organizer, an administrator, I am a priestess, and I lead also armies of heaven. You may know me in one or many of my offices but, above all, remember that I assist you in your own path of personal management, organization of your life - the setting of priorities, the use of the hours and of your strength while the day is. For the night cometh when no man can work, and that night may either be the dark night of the soul or the dark night of the Spirit.
In hours of initiation when you must deal with the total planetary consciousness and karma, you will spend all of your energy in dealing with that initiation. And therefore, make haste to complete the work of your life so that one day when you are called - always unexpectedly, as a thief in the night, as the bridegroom comes - so understand that Maitreya will call and you will be ready, and others may fulfill and continue what you have begun.
Remember also the suddenness of the sowing of the seed of betrayal and the turning of a consciousness. So also is the suddenness of the Divine Encounter and the conversion unto Christ. Each one bespeaks that some thing, some very mighty thing has entered the world of the individual, something of the absolute order of things - absolute Good or absolute Evil.
These forces exist. Though you may not see them, you see them clearly in the consequences of men's lives and the choices they make. Something from without, something from within - the chemistry changes and a new identity appears.
Let it be so that on this Good Friday, the victory of your love will see manifest where you are a multiplication, by those fourteen stations, of the light in you by the light of Christ.
Blessed ones, if the new lilies of sainthood do not appear each Eastertide, then is the walk to Golgotha in vain. He did it not for himself alone, but for you, my child, and for you. Therefore, let your own life be the point of Light which he will multiply.
Let the Cosmic Christ appear where you are!
Let Maitreya be where you are.
And then you will see Maitreya here, Maitreya there.
Lo, the kingdom of God is within you!
And they will not know where Maitreya has appeared,
Everywhere in the hearts of the disciples of Christ.
And therefore all are right, all are wrong - and none are right or wrong. For the placing of Maitreya as a flesh-and-blood person is erroneous, but the denial of Maitreya living within the heart of a flesh-and-blood person is also erroneous.
Let be the incarnate Light! Let be the Chosen One! Let be the universality of the Christed ones, and let all become lilies in the field of the LORD - as above in Elysium, so below.
I AM Mary, the mother of the lily within you, always and always. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The LORD is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us, sons and daughters of God,
Now and at the hour of our victory
Over sin, disease, and death.
