Vol. 26 No. 41 - Beloved Gautama Buddha - October 9, 1983
The Essence of My Heart
Wesak 1983

     When darkness abounds, light is the most valuable commodity. Therefore, value the light and realize that only those resources that are from within, that come forth in the fount that flows within and flows from above, will endure in the day of cosmic necessity.

     Therefore, it is the light of the threefold flame that I desire to increase. May you also draw the sacred fire breath and fan the flame and understand that breathing in, breathing out, as the great cosmic inbreath and outbreath, is a part of the sustaining of the threefold flame.

     The sacred fire, God's gift to you, my beloved, most fulfills the spirals of its purpose when you give it away day by day. As you give love, you draw more fire. As you apply and give and teach wisdom, you draw forth more. For the spiral infolding itself does pull from the very heart of cosmos by the heart tugs of my sons and daughters who understand the great calling of ministering to life.

     Perhaps the collar and the cloth of the ministry on this earth has turned you off. Well, perhaps it does me also. I would not choose this calling were I you, in the normal sense of the word. But the ministering flame of the will of God, the giving - as the feeding by the mother of the tiny bird - is that which enables the life of cosmos to continue imparting the flame, one by one, and each one so important as he passes that flame. For it is the gift of God, the only gift that is ours to give away.

     Thus I, Gautama, praise the Lord Sanat Kumara for the gift of life as opportunity to give and give this sacred fire for the igniting of consciousness, my beloved. For without the fire of consciousness, no cogitation, no reason can probe the Mind of God and in self-definition prove oneself - I AM.

     In this year of our appearing, we do long for your coming to the Heart - and that in the cycle of the Mother, the cycle of summer solstice when there is the great conclave of light at the Royal Teton. And therefore, I pray that swiftly we shall complete those obligations on the land that enable us to truly celebrate our freedom. For God as the abundant life is proven through us, and we together are alchemists and we together shall climb Maitreya Mountain.

     Blessed ones, I will promise you that everyone who will walk or hike to that point, I will accompany. I will be your companion on the trail. I say this now so that you may begin to build stamina for that climb, especially those who are not so used to climbing. And may others who are the brave ones prepare a path even such as that which is upon Mount Shasta, prepared by one who thought of the pilgrims who would come in search of the Great White Lodge.1

     Well, you will find that Buddha Maitreya maintains a focus as a replica of a physical Buddha meditating. His focus is a giant Buddha in commemoration of the mighty focus of the Buddha Surya from the Great Central Sun who once held a mighty balance for this earth in ancient, ancient times.2

     Blessed ones, the mighty figure of the Buddha, the presence of Maitreya, is the hope, the blessed hope of earth. For it is the sign of the coming of the Anointed One, it is the time of the return in space of the Mother flame, it is the time of opportunity for you to be free from a darkness far greater imaginable even with these brief descriptions you have heard.3

     Blessed ones, the greater darkness, as compared to the chaos produced by worlds in collision and produced perhaps by many forces so complex, is the darkness and the dark night of the soul that has succumbed in some small way to the toilers and their temptations. And these fallen ones have laid their traps and laid their snares so many times, blessed hearts, seeking to keep the light-bearers on earth. For you alone possess the flame you now hold, and they have desired to milk the light from the very essence of the bloodstream of our own progeny and our own sweet children.

     Thus, the only way to keep the light-bearers on the darkened star is either to ensnare them in karma or to give them the sense of obligation in the Bodhisattva ideal. In the first instance, it is the fallen ones who create the condition; and in the second, it is the dharma of God and a plan of immortal destiny whereby in joy, because the flame of the Central Sun is where you are, you do not notice nor allow yourself to be concerned of the darkness of this world.

     For always and always you look upon the flame. And thus, not only your countenance is enlightened and enlivened by its flickering and its dancing, but your very mind is illumined by Apollo and Lumina, by the mighty Archangel Jophiel and Christine.

     Therefore, my beloved, understand that the dharma has kept you here, but this shall not forever be - not always. And therefore, it is an hour of liberation from great darkness and the escape, even of the Mother, from the dark ones who have sought to defame the image of the Blessed Virgin whose light she bears in the name of Mary.

     Therefore, dear hearts, take heed. For the fallen ones know you shall rise to higher octaves in the resurrection, the resurgens Christus - truly the light that continues and continues unto the far-off worlds. And therefore, consider that the hour of victory is the most treacherous, as the treacherous ones seek to tear that victory immediately from that very one who will soar to the heart of the Sun.

     Understand your calling as shepherds and guardians of these little ones - children, those devotees new to the Path, those who cannot quite comprehend such a vast conspiracy of darkness even as they cannot comprehend the celestial City Foursquare, the Great Central Sun and all that is there, and the hierarchies of light and the great evolutions of the Godhead who inhabit cosmos far beyond reach of those who lost their first estate.

     Thus, having neither the conception of absolute Light or absolute Darkness, the equation, therefore, of the intrigue that yet lurks on earth has not occurred to them as something that is a daily threat, even a manifestation of that shadow which may cross the path of a child - even when the child is not aware that there looms the figure of the murderer or the liar or the one who is come to harm him and violate his sacred purity.

     Thus, my beloved, we are in the midst of a mighty victory. We are in the midst of intense forces of cosmos, of light-bearers coming to earth to rescue her evolutions. Is it any wonder, then, that the very mouthpiece of our contact in the Messenger and your own dear hearts are often burdened with the greatest of conspiracies to destroy the opening of the mighty door of Light, even the mighty opening of a door not seen before and not known?

     For there are many wonders in the earth and many revelations and secret places, such as the secret chamber of the heart. There are many plans held in the Godhead for those who keep the vigil. And thus, in this hour of transition, let us look to holy scriptures and sacred writ - let us look, then, to the records in akasha. For, I tell you, more wisdom and truth was spoken in these few statements that you have heard from our Mother, as I have so instructed her, than you have heard in many places and many a year. Probing, then, this which I have brought to your attention, you can understand the vastness of systemic and interplanetary wars and of designs undreamt of to hold back the race of light-bearers. Blessed ones, if it were not so, I tell you, the sincerity, the humility, and the beauty of hearts of light on earth should long, long ago have manifested a golden age! It has been far, far too long since the early root races attained their victory.

     And the straying of these little ones from the Path can be understood only in the light of a vast conspiracy. For what have they done? Perhaps faltered and fallen in the way here and there, but their hearts' love of God has never been modified or compromised in their heart of hearts. Though they have sinned, they have loved the LORD. Though they have strayed, God has loved them.

     And therefore, you see, setback after setback can be explained only by a third party and its presence. This you understand, even as Gandhi understood it and knew it. Facing the adversary and confronting even that fallen one, that Jinnah,4 who, like those in the United States led by the forces of Jefferson Davis, determined to divide India as they determined to divide the United States.

     And this division and this sowing of the seed of Serpent opened the way, therefore, for the assassination of that one and for a mass slaughter and bloodshed - also projected, dear hearts, from these ones who occupy the territories of the earth, whom you call the aliens, and so they are. For they are alien to the Light, alien to the natural order of things, unto the high calling of the sons of God.

     It is not the will of my Father that any of these little ones should perish.5 It is not the will of the people that they should be the instruments of death. It is not the will of the light-bearers that mechanization man should overtake the earth, inasmuch as they have done so again and again.

     Understand, therefore, that the missing ingredient, the lost chord of the living Word that now floats to my very altar hourly in your increased prayers, is like the leaven which the woman hid in three measures of meal until it leavened the whole lump of the planetary consciousness.6 The Word that penetrates because you are determined is like the piercing light of Archangel Jophiel and of the hearts of Buddhas in conclave.

     Dearest ones of the light, how you must understand what a sudden shock it must be as there penetrates the caves of the dark ones, and even their inner-sanctum chambers and meetings, the action of the judgment, the piercing light of the presence of Christ, as the Lord Jesus himself passes into their midst and appears and warns them, even in this century, of their impending doom.

     But do they repent? I tell you, nay! They only calculate the next move in consideration of the fact that their time is short. Thus, even the appearance of the Christ does not move these fallen ones - scarcely. Is it difficult to understand, therefore, why such betrayers should not be moved by the face of the Messenger?

     Do you not understand that their tales of her loss of our mantle are not even believed by them? They know in their hearts what is true, but they must manufacture their own excuse to take revenge - that unmitigated revenge which does, in fact, pave the way for their own final judgment.

     Even as you understand these ones, take care of your children, take care of yourselves, and pray for protection. Let us therefore understand that the angels of Jophiel move for the rescue of light-bearers and the setting up of bastions of light in Central America. Angels of Jophiel have accomplished much since our last meeting, and many volunteers have come - even new volunteers from other systems of worlds; for they have recognized a certain quality in this very movement and in light-bearers the planet round that has not truly existed in such intensity in many centuries.

     Many hearts illumined by our love and by our office have come to a deep understanding, through their training at inner levels at the Royal Teton Retreat, of that which is in fact threatening this earth in this very hour. And therefore, the hearts of many are more intensely united with the Godhead through the fervent desire to bring peace to the earth.

     Therefore, I, Gautama, have responded also to the call of the Messenger, who had only one plea to my heart on her birthday: that there might be peace on earth. In the full knowledge that we share, of that which is necessary to bring about peace, it is evident that there are many projects which must be accomplished if this prayer is to be answered.

     "Peace on Earth," therefore, may well be the title of a paper you write, determining in your heart what area of world consciousness you will go after in order to bring that level of peace and that momentum of light. Thus, one by one we overturn the records of war and cataclysm, one by one we go after now the dweller on the threshold of this or that movement that threatens the peace of the earth!

     As you look around, as I do in the three hundred and sixty degrees of the flame that I bear, you also can understand, beloved ones, that in every direction and each and every wavelength from my heart, there is an illumination of a dark corner where someone on earth is plotting against the peace of someone or some nation or some group, or of children or the aged or the poor or the sick.

     Therefore, to grant a prayer for world peace by the Mother, I enlist all light-bearers on earth to regard just how intense are the movements of war and death to overthrow the full power of the Prince of Peace that holds still, then, the point of the solar plexus. And through that solar plexus and that desiring of Peace above all else, as you master even your own point of God-control, you become the instrument of the desiring of Helios and Vesta to hold this system of worlds in the balance of Christ peace.

     This shall be our goal. For after all, the little children cannot attend school if peace is interrupted; they cannot learn. The shopkeeper cannot keep his shop, the nurse cannot care for the sick, the mother cannot bring forth her young, and the father may not go forth to bring home that which is necessary to the raising up of the family of light.

     When all things are interrupted by an absence of peace, the open door for chaos multiplies many times over. Thus, we see how the Dark Cycle in Pisces7 is truly the one that threatens world peace and threatens to move against the Prince of Peace in, you might say, "ingenious" ways. But truly, only the sons of God are ingenious, whereas the serpents are more cunning - skillful rather than ingenious. Thus they find new ways to desecrate the Christ in those who bear the light which you now carry.

     In that living flame of your Christhood, which truly must become more and more your own day by day, let love be the all-consuming flame, let love be the all-consuming flame of all hate and hate creation! For I AM Gautama, and I am grateful, as you are grateful, that I could come this day and find the Mother's receptive heart to deliver therefore a message of great import.

     The one of listening grace who is found always in her place in service - therefore available to cosmic beings and our hierarchy - becomes the dependable source whereby you may know what is upon our heart. I am grateful, and I therefore charge you to keep, therefore, the safety and keep the seclusion of the Messenger, that those messages which are vital and essential to your own survival, spiritually and physically, be not withheld from you by a moment's delay.

     The Mother is called upon to handle so many, many details that ought truly to be delegated to others who, I am certain, if they also pray as diligently as she does, will find themselves quite competent - and those of you who are burdened and beset by problems will find your Mighty I AM Presence also quite competent - to increase your awareness of the crystal of the will of God: and in the heart of the crystal a blue flame, and in the heart of the flame the Lord Himalaya and the face of love that emits kindness and peace and the word "All is well. Watch and pray and I will tell right from wrong and which way to go."

     Let, therefore, the message ring clear that we have many whom we must contact this year by many means. May your ingenuity rise with Lanto and Confucius and those who meet in the Royal Teton to understand the mighty spokes of the wheel. The hub is essential, and you may be the hub of a wheel that reaches many. The spokes are also that which enables the hub to turn and radiate the light of the Great Central Sun.

     As Mohandas, my son, was the hub of a revolution and as millions were the spokes of a giant spinning wheel and a giant chakra of the heart, so you also, my beloved, understand how the very rod of your being becomes the connecting point between the central Word and its distribution. Though the hub turn, yet the light may reach its destination only if there are many who understand that the rays from the heart of the Great Central Sun are also the spokes that create a mighty wheel of Life - the wheel of a movement, the wheel of a revolution, the wheel of cycles turning and even worlds turning upside down ere all is finished and be sound and found in the heart of a golden age.

     You are capable of transition, for you are equipped with fortitude and the strength of the Advocate; you are equipped with a sound mind. And when you do not have it, you may gain fearlessness flame from Ray-O-Light.

     Be not dismayed that flood tides of fear wash against the rock and tower of the lighthouse of your own being. For this is what the Dark Cycle is all about. Never fear, for in you burns a light, and you know what and who is that Light. You know the point of contact with the Central Sun. And therefore, you are the surefooted ones.

     We are not concerned for thee, blessed hearts. We are concerned for those who ought to be here and ought to be contacted and who are a part of the army of light. For their connection to this dispensation is essential to their own survival and their fulfillment of a dharma that must be completed in this century and in the next.

     I AM Gautama. I dwell in the ruby ray of hearts afire with holy purpose. The intensity of that ray is the gift of Mother Mary to me, as she bears now to my heart in the Royal Teton Retreat a vessel of the ruby ray that represents the essence of the hearts of saints on earth who give their light as the shedding of the blood of Christ for the healing of the world and the holding of the balance of peace.

     Mother Mary brings me a vessel therefore of the essence of light-bearers who are committed to my flame, my mission, and my revolutionary wisdom, which I spread across the globe as a spread of buttercups covering the fields in springtime. The yellow flowers of every nature and description are now forming a blanket of light around the earth. And the golden yellow flame of illumination from Jophiel does give to you the immense satisfaction of the vision of Reality - the reality of the Messengers, of the ascended masters, of the chelas, of the cosmic beings, of that order of things which is the will of God.

     Yes, there is peace in my heart. Yes, there is peace in the heart of my devotees. And this grand flame of peace shall increase and increase and increase until none are able to counter it and war becomes that which is a thing of the past - and none can raise the hand ever again against the Almighty or his bands!

     In the midst of the flaming victory of the Christed ones, my heart of compassion enfolds you. And the open Book of the Law will reveal the records of Life and the records of Death. Therefore, by the record of the Book of the Law is each and every one justified; and by the word, the imprecations and the condemnations of the fallen ones, are they themselves judged and brought to naught.8

     I raise my right hand in defense of these little ones. I raise my hand in defense of the light of the Woman whose hour is come. I raise my hand in defense of the chela, the Bodhisattva, the devotee of Mother. For in the heart of hearts of these chosen ones, there is a fire that will not be put out.

     Therefore, I, Gautama Buddha, am confident that a mighty torch of the living ones will be the sign of transition and not darkness; but the torch in the midst of the darkness will be the sign of the coming of the New Age and that here on earth, in some quarters it can yet be said, "All is well, all is well." And in that point of light and peace and illumination and love, good cheer and God's will, I AM Gautama Buddha, ever appearing, ever blessing, ever leading and protecting.

     May you pass beyond the treacherous waters into the New Day. May you know the true definition of Reality, extol it, defend it, and transmute the past.

     Your future is before you as a golden sea of light. And the single star of the morning is a beacon of the causal body of Sanat Kumara. How it has been hope to the ancient mariner and the explorers of earth's surface by way of the seas, by way of the land! How the stars of hope of the causal bodies of our brothers and sisters provide that promise known in the interior self - that one day this, too, shall pass and the victory of Sirius will be a harmony and a joy that we share!

     By the light of the all-seeing eye of God, I show you a vision - a vision of victory and the dark clouds parting and the face, the face of the eternal Mother, worlds without end, appearing again and again and again for the reassurance of each child that God truly will deliver his own. And the nations shall be stilled, and the kings and the princes and the mighty men shall also know that the power of God is abroad in the land and they are not able to thwart its holy purpose.

     May the Christ in you be the messenger of the Coming One, and may your own Christhood be a blazing sun! For I AM your Father, you are my sons and daughters, and I expect high achievement and top grades and your best performance - and the inner purity that tells all of the life of the one who has passed through. Descending to hell and rising again, the purity of heart does tell the quality of soul.

     Here, midst the candles of an illumination that shall truly illumine a world,9 I, Gautama, bless you, I seal you, I love you, and I bear to you now through many hands the substance of my heart in the celebration of holy communion.

     May the servers of the light of Alpha and Omega, of the bread and the wine, now bear to you my heart's essence and the body of my love.

     I seal you in the flame of Shamballa, East and West, and I commend you to the flame of freedom and Saint Germain for a victorious Independence Day that shall never, never, never again be taken from the I AM Race!

     I AM the sponsor of that race even as I, with Jesus, do sponsor the Church gainst which the gates of hell shall not prevail10 - the Church that has always been universal and triumphant, for it consists of the bodies of the saints and their Light-essence.

     May you partake of this and realize the meaning of communion. For as you receive it, you, my beloved, are in communion with all who are a part of my heart, worlds without end. Then may you also be refreshed by the precious meal, and remember how I, too, was refreshed, strengthened, and prepared for the next level of initiation.11

     I send you to that level, I send you to the confrontation, I send you with the sword of Truth to confront the liar and his lie. They shall not pass, so long as you remember the right hand of the Buddha, so long as you remember the heart of Mother ever burns for your victory.

     In God, I AM THAT I AM, Amen.

Volume 26, Number 41, footnote 3. In the service preceding this dictation, the Messenger delivered teaching on ancient planetary records of cataclysm and the judgment of the fallen angels - subconscious memories that have burdened the light-bearers with a "doomsday" consciousness for millions of years, and that are now being intensified in the Dark Cycle in Pisces. She explained that "fear is an ancient enemy of the children of the light" and that "these are the records through which the fallen ones project condemnation and guilt," seeking to "entice, engage, and entwine the light of the light-bearers to their own schemes and devices." The Messenger traced fragments of these ancient events biblically (Gen. 1:1-3; Jer. 4:23-26; Ezek. 28:11-19; Isa. 14:9-11) and cited parallel legends of war and world holocaust in mythology from around the world. " ... Karma, as a record, is the pied piper that leads the entire evolutions of the earth down into the darkness of those records. ... We must go to the core because it is self-repeating - it's the sorcerer's apprentice that has no end until it is challenged by the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, of which we are a part."

1 In 1922, Sierra Club members sponsored the building of the Shasta Alpine Lodge. J. M. ("Mac") Olberman, age 60, who was hired as a caretaker, labored for 12 years to construct a flagstone path from Horse Camp to just below Lake Helen. From there to the summit of Mount Shasta, he placed mileposts, cairns, and painted rock markers. The flagstone section was later named Olberman's Causeway in his honor, and is still used by climbers today.

4 Muhammed Ali Jinnah (1876-1948), founder of Pakistan. During the years 1910-1930 in which India was struggling for her independence from Great Britain, Jinnah was a staunch supporter of the Indian National Congress and a confidant of Gandhi. At the critical moment when unity was needed between the Hindu and Muslim populations, Jinnah withdrew his support from the Congress and in 1934 formed the Muslim League. Following the British Labour government's grant of self-government to India in 1946, Jinnah's unbending stand for a separate Muslim state and the widespread Hindu-Muslim riots forced the Congress to accept the establishment of Pakistan. In August 1947, India was partitioned and Jinnah was made governor general of Pakistan and president of its constituent assembly.

As the Gospel of Buddha records, when Gautama had partaken of the rice milk, "all his limbs were refreshed, his mind became clear again, and he was strong to receive the highest enlightenment."
